The season of fog – Elk Lake Walk, a story in black and white
Last weekend we had a lot of dense fog again. After quite a bit of snow and icy surfaces it was a real pleasure walking. There were no giant puddles to cross and most of the melt water and rain was gone so the path around Elk and Beaver Lake was quite pleasant. Lots ofContinue reading “The season of fog – Elk Lake Walk, a story in black and white”
My favourite mushroom recipe – Italian Mushroom Risotto!
Chanterelles, king boletes also known by its Italian name porcini, or pine mushrooms are amazing for this dish but you can also buy mushrooms at your grocery store like oyster mushrooms or button mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms are awesome but dried mushrooms work well too. Just soak them before using in luke warm water. This recipeContinue reading “My favourite mushroom recipe – Italian Mushroom Risotto!”
Mushrooms 2020 – what an incredible mushroom year!
Had to share some more of those beauties with you. All these I found/saw after my Munich to Venice hike (which had been blessed with many beautiful specimens all along) while in Germany. Many of them edible and excellent tasting, some are highly medicinal supporting our body’s immune system and curing diseases, some very interestingContinue reading “Mushrooms 2020 – what an incredible mushroom year!”
Day 27: Rifugio Carestiato to Rifugio Sommariva al Pramperet – 14km
Today was supposed to be a rainy day. Big surprise in the morning when there was sun and some blue skies visible. Still the afternoon was going to be wet and thunderstorms would be very likely. I managed to leave at 8:00am and later I was so glad I did! The first 2km went alongContinue reading “Day 27: Rifugio Carestiato to Rifugio Sommariva al Pramperet – 14km”
Day 23: Malga Ciapela to Alleghe – 11km
When I woke up it was cool, raining, grey,…. the forecast suggested it would clear up around 10:00am for a bit so I took my time. Breakfast was Italian, so done real quick: coffee and a croissant. The lunchbox wasn’t that exciting, 2 buns, a little ham and cheese, a pre made cookie, a juiceContinue reading “Day 23: Malga Ciapela to Alleghe – 11km”
Day 21: La Villa – again! Another bad weather day which turned out to be quite pleasant – 15km
Was trying to make my departure work all morning. Was up super early, packed and ready to go but the perspective of quite a bit of rain wasn’t really exciting. On top of that today’s route would have taken me from Passo Pordoi to the Marmolada, one of the most scenic parts of my hike,Continue reading “Day 21: La Villa – again!

Day 18: Maurerberghuette to La Villa – 16.5km
Difficult decision today to cancel the Schlueterhuette and not continue to the Puezhuette. The forecast was for lots of rain, massive thunderstorms all over the Alps, possibly lasting a week. It was supposed to start raining around 1:00pm. There were a few drops, sometimes strong winds telling a story that was to come. Couldn’t believeContinue reading “Day 18: Maurerberghuette to La Villa – 16.5km”
