Cycling the Ceriti Hills

Last week end I went for a short cycling session to the Ceriti hills, close to Cerveteri. Those hills, very close to Rome (about 50 Km), are still very much unspoiled and did offer us a chance to feel in touch with the beautiful nature surrounding Rome.





The cycling by itself has not been a remarkable one, but the trip was still worthed doing it.




The best part of the trip of course has been going down to the waterfalls, nothing huge but very nice to look at. Reaching the falls required us to walk down the trail wih our bike on our back since the trail was not rideble.

Ski trip to CORVARA

This year has not been an happy one for those of us that love to ski/snowboard/snowball-fight or whatever on the white mountains! not enough snow...actually in Italy it has been a very weird winter with summer like weather. But even with these bad conditions I could not stop myself from going to the Dolomiti (Corvara) for a brief (too brief actually) ski trip. Well we were quite lucky and found that the day before leaving Rome it had snowed on the Dolomiti.
So here are a few pics ...

Myself with my two and a half years old son (his first snow trip)... I can't wait to see him on the skies!!!




A view of the Marmolada from the top of Piz la Villa.





Here is the Sassongher...the couloir you can (barely) see between the two leftmost peaks is one of the most beautiful extreme off-piste you'll find around here (but not the only one).





And finally a small video from the marmolada main slope ...

Lake Martignano - MTB roundtrip

Here are a few pics from the trip around this beautiful small lake close to Rome. Again I used Paola & Gino's site (Itinerario 24) in order to get the details (map, gps track and other useful infos).
































And finally the lake's beach..
