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.
As we were driving towards Alagna, one of the three main points of entry into the Monte Rosa skiing area, the change in landscape came quite sudden. In the plains northwest of Milan, spring had already begun, flowers had started to appear, and only the white cover on the distant tops of the Alps reminded one of the vicinity of snow. But as we drove into the valley of the Sesia river, we quite soon spotted remains of snow a little higher, and soon thereafter, next to us. Before we knew it, we were in a white winterland. Unfortunately, we did not make it to ski that same day, but the late afternoon light on the snowy mountains certainly whetted our appetite for more.
