Within nature itself

Cross-country skiing is a fine alternative to the on-piste action, and an excellent opportunity to maintain your fitness. Cycling and running might not have such appeal during the winter months but heading off along trails on narrow skis remains open to all.
But it is worth doing a little physical preparation first – just to warn muscles and joints what lies ahead!
There’s plenty to appreciate not least nature at its purest all around. Sunkissed trails immersed within a snowladen landscape and surrounded by high Alpine peaks make infinite appeal, and in Valle Spluga there’s a whole host of options. Campodolcino is an excellent start heading off along the right side of the valley bottom, and boasting two well-maintained crosscountry loops all offering ...

Fun and games
Fun and games By Annarosa Parisi   Learning through play, a revolutionary medium, and perhaps even a little “off the wall” is a prime example of divergent thinking, rooted in the principle of using games as a means of education for both mind and body.

High as a kite
Constant wind, a kite, a pair of skis or a board and bags of fresh snow. That’s all anyone needs to practise snow-kiting, an exhilarating discipline which for some years now has been taking the Alpine arc by storm, including the Valle Spluga region. I began to ride the snow towed along by my kite some years ago ...

Free ride a Madesimo
When I contact Martin Soderqvist, he’s in rather a different environment than I expect – there are children in the background equally interested in his attention. He’s on domestic duties at home in Sweden – just outside Gothenburg in fact – but nevertheless very much considering his global winter appointments that he ...
The Canalone
It is possible to present a ski-run as an artistic work, without resorting tom dull prose? I think it is: If you were to fly over it in a helicopter, it would look like one of those ordinary gullies which cross these mountains, and nothing to boats of in a any way as extraordinary or magnificent. If, however, you went ...

The Flying Circus in back
Acquarela is a seriously complex Kaleidoscopic observation platform for observing the diversity of the human condition. But at the same time it’s a sort of ideal, albeit make-believe, world. A short circuit of alternate energy, the ebb and flow of Alpine conscience, a meeting place for small cuddly bears; all in all a ...
Fraciscio a genuine Alpine heaven
What intrigues the first-time visitor to Fraciscio in winter, a small village at 1300m, just above Campodolcino, is its rather isolated nature, somewhat hidden away compared to the more classic destinations for tourists within Valle Spluga. On the right flank of the valley as you climb up, the village is regarded as ...

Italo, Fabio, Nicolò. And if we add the surname Pedroncelli, thoughts immediately turn to winter sports.
