TUESDAY'_ TREKKING "THE MIRROR OF THE SKY" WITH BREAKFAST IN ALPINE COTTAGE (until September 22nd)

The new version of our morning trek this year moves to Val di Peio. We start at 6:00 AM, heading towards the Stelvio National Park, above the village of Peio. The crisp air urges us on our first steps, and the gentle climb warms us up. Immersed in the morning silence, we arrive at Covel Lake and you'll understand why it's called the "mirror of the sky." A few steps further and we hear the roar of the Rio Vioz waterfall, and then… off with the shoes! We dip our feet in the water, a real tonic.

Breathe in, listen, don't think about anything, look around as the sun caresses the surrounding peaks. After this "awakening," we head to the refuge, where in the wooden stube of the Scoiattolo, we are pampered by the scent of coffee, the taste of yogurt with honey and berries, and the softness of grandma's cake... just for this moment, you shouldn't have any doubts about setting the alarm for 5:30 AM 🙂 We calmly set off again with Attilio, who tells us the secrets of the mountain, first pointing to the squirrel forest and then Malga Saline, always accompanied by majestic Swiss pines.

From the parking lot we set out in the direction of Malga Caldesa and after about 40 minutes we will glimpse the beginning of the "Fruscìo" sound trail. Carillons hanging from tall larch trees, hollow logs resonating with your hands, a piano stuck on the top of a larch tree. A grass square where you lie on wooden seats. Surrender to the sounds, the voice of the wind in the trees, the song of the forest. You will feel the peace!
Recharged by the delightful Monroc picnic enjoyed in the shade of a centuries-old tree, we continue on our journey, listening to Attilio who entertains us with tales of the mountain pastures and the surrounding territory. The energy of the forest guides us back towards the path of the alpine dairies, and at Malga Caldesa, we stop for a delightful slice of cake or a yogurt made by them, with strawberries or forest berries.
