Ah, the first time! What about the second one? I don’t know what you thought, but to me this is just one of the many times I’ve come in these mountains. And when I’m talking about Sauris the only people that I can be talking about are Michele Grimaz (pictures) and Marco, who we call…

Once upon a November 2018, I came here to celebrate my 40th birthday with some friends (if you missed the article about it, here it is, ready to enjoy) And then…well, the pandemic and its lockdowns hit. It seems like ages ago, doesn’t it? But last November I found a glimmer of hope. And I…
