Dolomites / Super, 2017 + Milan
Plane tickets were taken in advance - about 10 months, so it turned out cheap - about 4000 UAH. per person in both directions: Kyiv - Malpenza - Kyiv (UIA). Additionally paid for ski equipment (25 euros in both directions). Two pairs of beds and boards were packed there; boots and fasteners were taken to a separate suitcase.
Transfer: previously found a van for 6 people (480 euros + 30 euros for arrival and waiting for us at the big market). There for about 120 euros / for 3 people bought all the products / juices / water / wine / and we had enough for a week of food in stock.
Dinners arrived in Canada (traveled about 5 hours in total from the airport), where we met Dino (apartment owner) and took us to his beautiful apartment
>(so we decorated them later); )
In the morning we went to the Belvedere ski lift (about 150-200 meters from the apartments).
The first day was difficult, so after a photo shoot and a flash mob on the Marmolada Glacier
we stopped for a pit stop at a hut and ate sandwiches with beer and fell asleep under the scorching rays of the sun on deck chairs.
Day 2: We drove in an orange circle to Saslong. There were several descents and photo shoots (the trails were unusually sparsely populated, without hills and well prepared). In general, this year there are very few skiers on Sella Rondo / very little snow in the mountains ...but the slopes are extremely well prepared and spent - IMHO, just what you need; ).
After Saslong, they managed to go down to Ortisei and return home in time.
All 6 days of skiing there was a wonderful frosty (-5 - 10) weather and the sun was shining brightly, there were no clouds in the sky!
Day 3: It was decided to travel to Cortina.
We went there on skis, and back we agreed that we would be taken away by bus (25 euros per person). After a little wandering (already in Cortina) skibus, we came across the track "Olympia" (area Tofana - Pomedas), but it was closed before the World Cup and there, unfortunately, no one was allowed. were.
Sometime in the afternoon we stopped in a local hut with beautiful views, drank beer with panina and drove on.
They still managed to climb the slopes in the neighborhood of Ra Valles, and from the area of "Crystal" there was not enough time… well, maybe another time; )
At about 6 o'clock we were picked up by a van and tired but happy (c) we returned home… for dinner; )
Day 4: Day of rest - went to Corvara (Alta - Badia), jumped from the springboards near the snow park near Arabi, then sat in a cafe - competed / drank beer. Then we went to the Grand Reese (it just passed the Audi Cup) and there made a couple of descents, went in the opposite direction - home ...along the way to Valon (panorama and slopes were great)
Day 5: We went to Kronplatz (again through Corvara), got there to the Plan de Corones / took a few photos and ran home (moving to Porto Veskovo closes at exactly 16 o'clock) < / p>
Day 6: Our nurse was left on the farm, and she and her baby went to Colfosco (for some reason they had never been there before). There rode and drank beer in the local huts almost entirely alone Germans - probably there was their resistance headquarters)). Then we drove to Corvara again (for some reason I liked the area), had a little chat in the snow park and went home in a green circle.
There were also very beautiful landscapes on the Champina ...and everywhere on the Rondo Village (in such weather)
P . S .
He rode with flags on his back, the oncoming katsaps were flattened and turned upside down like a child: the frozen ones didn't sit on the lift with us / they suddenly became dumbfounded)) Once my baby and I rode in different chairs fell to the ground and laughed - could not stop: I was in them and FasciZd and saloid and a sick man, etc. , etc ...all the rise in the chair, they could not calm down poor))
Day 7 (Return): It started quite nervously - without taking our friends at 5 am ski bus (fly ski shuttle), we went next… had to call / negotiate with dispatcher / arrange… finally in the evening we drove to Milan and got to the hotel.
2 nights / 1 day (excursions / shopping, etc. ) was planned in Milan.
Day 8 (M i lan): ¦ Milan met us in real spring weather.
The company is not equally divided - everyone went shopping, and I'm just walking around the city : ). First, wandering around the Duomo Square - listening to street musicians,
then headed to Forza Castle, walking through a beautiful park,
where by the way you came across a black flea market and snatched a bag of Michael Corsa for a woman (cheap; ).
Next, a trip to the Da Vinci Museum (science and technology) was planned, passing by the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie,
But unfortunately it was closed. The Da Vinci Museum itself did not make a strong impression on me - so: a cluster of various old and very old technology)) - it looks like a museum of local lore… or maybe I'm just tired; ).
But the Italians went with large families slowly and were delighted…
I liked the look of the local Manhattan - it seems "Republic Square" - there they even have their own little ala Burj Khalifa))
Day 9: Road to Malpensa Airport , by the way, the terminal turned out to be 3-4 times bigger than our Terminal B in Boryspil.
At the registration they met Fagot (from TNCs) with a group of supporters and with skis)) ...I heard from the conversations that they were in St. Moritz; )
The evenings are tired and sad (that the trip is over) we returned home:
