At the end of a snow-rich winter, going to the Monte Rosa ski area turned out to be a good idea: lots of snow, nice sunny weather, and great Italian food.
The next day, we were all eager to go up the mountains and explore the Monte Rosa skiing area. From the window of our bathroom, we could see the snowy mountains lit by a soft morning light. Even though it was a Saturday, we were in a gondola before we knew it, and a little later, were on our skies. Shades were an absolute necessity in this bright world of a very thick layer of snow with sunlight all around us, and we got used to moving on skies again. After a few runs, we went to the upper, black, slope, the Olen, which turned out to be one of the best of the Monte Rosa area. The gondola on the other side of the Passo Salati was only working at the end of the day, allowing us only a few tries of the Salati downhill trail. We soon discovered that the restaurants, even high in the mountains at around 3,000m altitude, were of very good quality, serving all kinds of Italian classic meals as well as local fare. Some of those places have great views over the area.
