iandsmith Says: The day was perfect, my memory was clear. Molveno had been special when I first visited but many of its charms were hidden by haze and low level cloud. This day dawned clear and sunny. I yearned to travel from Malcesine just to see it again.So it was that, after a couple of...
Hotel Milano: Rooms with a view
iandsmith Says: I had pre-booked B&B for just 30 euros a night. By the time my heater conked out on the first night and I had to really rug up (it was snowling lightly outside) the price had depreciated. In the end I got the two nights for only 45 euros including a reasonable breakfast.My...
Ristorante Antica Bosnia: A Balkan interlude
iandsmith Says: The atmosphere was excellent. I had missed out the previous night as they were closed. Nothing unusual for me there.Anyhow, I lucked out the second night and got a seat.The lady had some grasp of English and I managed to get through the meal O.K.I couldn't exactly describe...
iandsmith Says: It's just nice on occasions while skiing on a clear day to stop and reflect at how lucky you are just to be in that place at that time. Standing on a mountainside with much of the visible world below you is one of the other treats of skiing/
iandsmith Says: Were you to go beyond the towers and fall over the edge, you'd land near Trento, one of my favourite Italian towns. You'd also be a bit stupid, but that's another story.This is the view from the top station La Roda, where you can also eat at the restaurant. Well, snack bar...
iandsmith Says: This gives you some idea of what the northern side is like. You can access this area from the village of Fai della Paganella. The base station, Santel, is at 1088 metres and you have to take three chairs to the top at La Roda (2125 metres), thus giving you 1,037 vertical...
iandsmith Says: Look ma, no skis. Sadly, my mother is long departed this earth (I tried to warn her old age would be fatal) so I can't send her this photo.My friends however, have to suffer this and more! I'm situated about smack in the centre of the fields, near the Albe de Mezz-Cima...
iandsmith Says: So, off to Italy for a dash on the slopes? Well, if you are of intermediate or beginner level, this could be just the place you're looking for.The main embarkation point is Andalo, which you may be able to discern if you blow up this map. It's at the centre of things and you...
iandsmith Says: In summer this place is abuzz with boating activity. Australia even had its eighteen footers (the fastest monohulled sailing boats in the world) over there for a round of the international titles. The eighteen footers have no restriction on sail capacity, it just depends how...
iandsmith Says: I had to drive through this diabolical driveway to park adjacent to the hotel. As with most places in Italy, parking is at a premium and I fully understood why the manager of the hotel had a frown when I suggested parking in one the three spots near the front door.With half...
iandsmith Says: For an all too brief period the smog cleared and the splendour of the mountains made itself apparent. This shot is taken from the balcony of the hotel.
iandsmith Says: The local chiesa was right beside my accommodation and was floodlit at night. I remember thinking two things: (a) how pretty it was and (b) how grateful I was that the chimes were muffled!
A view for the rich and the not-so-rich
iandsmith Says: I lucked out here. The Hotel Milano had just re-opened the week I was there and I got a special deal of bed and breakfast for 30 euros. When my heater clagged out in the middle of the night and I had to rug up to brace myself from the cold I thought they must shut them off...
iandsmith Says: In the breathless morning of another winter's day, the smoke from a hundred fires holds sway over the barren winter branches of the trees.The still lake surface, so appealing in summer, sends a chill message in the cold post-dawn sunrise.

I'd often wondered since my first visit just how beautiful it would be if I ever managed to see it on a fine day. Now, I have to wonder no longer. With autumnal tones beckoning us all the way from...
