I know other activities were amazing and nice but this is just pure nature beautiful & peaceful & soo cute. The worker seemed nervous and an introvert trying to make us feel welcoming which was funny. He was very nice and the full set up was the best we could have asked for. He allowed extra time for us & took things slower for my pregnant wife. I would not pass this up!”

Nonostante per noi fosse la prima ciaspolata, la nostra guida ha saputo spiegarci i fondamentali della disciplina e ci ha accompagnato lungo un percorso da fiaba. Più salivamo e più il sole calava all’orizzonte, arrivando alla baita per cenare quando oramai era già completamente buio e il nostro sentiero era illuminato solo dalla luce della luna e delle stelle. Esperienza estremamente immersiva e avvincente.”
