At the beginning of June, after submitting my last essay, I went in the Alps for a long weekend. The weather wasn't good enough for serious hiking, but I went for walks instead.
Pizzo Scalino (3323m) looked angry...
Still quite a bit of snow around... 
Rather cold at the lower damm at Campo Moro...
Merenda time! My favourite spot is Gelateria La Rosa.
The ice-cream here is amazing. In winter they serve an amazing hot chocolate in an extraordinary variety of flavours!
A walk through Pian del Lupo (Chiareggio). What a lovely house! I wish it were mine...
Scary bridge... not really, it is actually quite sturdy. 
Clean, fresh water!
The weather seemed to improve... 
Lunch at Locanda Pian del Lupo (Plain of the Wolf Inn). From the outside it looks like a hotel and you wouldn't stop unless you knew that inside...
... there is a lovely and welcoming restaurant.
After such a feast an espresso is badly needed to kick-start my digestion. Haha, flavours of home :)
Traditional environment and food. Excellent quality and not expensive.
Tasting selection: manfrigole (in front), risotto with Porcini mushrooms and pizzoccheri. Delicious!

Since I was full after the tasting selection, I asked the waiter for a tiny bit of venison stew with polenta. He mumbled something and brought me this... BUCKET!
I made my best effort, but couldn' finish it. So tasty though!
