Alpi di Suisi

Gondolas are amazing, and not scary at all! We were transported, straight up the hill, by gondola, to Alpi di Suisi, the largest alpine valley in Europe. Again, the Italian Alps provided gorgeous views at every turn, with perfect weather!
We hiked about 9 miles, stopping at mountain huts along the way, to try the local beer, and apple strudel, a specialty in this area- Delicious!
We continue to marvel at the beautiful scenery, and are so grateful for the kindness of strangers who are willing to answer all kinds of questions, in English. In Ortesei, most people speak at least four languages, Italian, German, Ladin, the ancient regional language, and English.
Tomorrow we leave this amazing area. It will be a day of travel, navigating two bus and two train changes. Wish us luck!Read more
