Takin' It Easy In Pontechianale

After endless nights of partying and eating sometimes you just want to slowwww down. That was our  Sunday. We wanted to sleep but wanted to enjoy the Spring-like temperatures. So we decided to stroll around a little “borgo” in the mountains yesterday after lunch. No snowshoeing, no waking up early, just hanging out with friends and takin’ it easy!

Our destination was a tiny village with no more than 250 inhabitants called Pontechianale in Val Varaita. It is characteristic for it’s lake and rickety old houses and stone roofs. If you are interested in cross country or alpine skiing this is a great place to go!

Unfortunately on a Sunday there wasn’t much to do so we just went walking and got some pastries and drank some tea!
