The Magic of The Alpes: Livigno!

Livigno with My Personal Touch, Alta Valtellina (Italy)

My dear friends, welcome again here, in My Own Italy!

 
In these days so terribly hot I'd like to offer you a trip at 1800 meters high, in a so charming place, rich in history and tradition: Livigno.

Rifugio Costaccia (Livigno)

If you enjoy the breathtaking views, I suggest you walk the path that leads to  Costaccia Refuge , about 2400 meters above sea level.

 During the climb you can do nice encounters ...

Livigno, during the climb!

and not only this .... Nearly ten thousand feet I got to know ... him!

Polenta Taragna @ Costaccia Refuge (Livigno)

By the way, if you reached the goal,  you can enjoy a typical delicious plate of Polenta Taragna, prepared with buckwheat, and venison stew with mushrooms, a dish I really recommend you to taste!

Ok, my friends... I hope you will enjoy this trip. 

I'll show you more about Valtellina and Italian Alpes in a few days, here on my Blog: this is My Own Italy.

Stay tuned!

This is me, climbing towards Costaccia Refuge (Livigno)

Ciao!
