Taking Valium While Exercising?

Pass Monscera 2105 m

Da Domodossola raggiungiamo Bognanco Terme, risalendo la valle arriviamo a Graniga e continuando sempre su strada asfaltata, normalmente pulita si arriva a San Bernardo 1628 m dove lasciamo l'auto o nel piccolo parcheggio di fronte alla chiesetta o sul bordo della strada. Scesi dall'auto ci accorgiamo che la temperatura รจ gradevole, sembra di essere all'inizio della primavera, dopo la chiesetta una palina segnavia indica i vari percorsi da intraprendere con i relativi tempi, noi proseguiamo sulla strada poderale a destra che ricalca la old mule track was built in 1928 by the Royal Army for defensive purposes, we go down slightly in a beautiful forest of firs and larches, and crossed the river on a bridge Rasiga 1600 m starting to climb out of the woods we come to the shelter Dosso 1740 m. We leave the snow-covered road at the moment to go back behind the shelter Alpe Arza 1754 m, we keep in the woods until it intersects the private road again, is beginning to feel the wind in the forest but for now remains the only hear mumbling in the trees, after the beaten track begin to rise freely to the left. Now the wind is felt with all his might, and we challenge him at times seems almost like giving up, but then resume again with greater force raising clouds of snow crashing against us, the scenery is fantastic addition to the deep blue sky, walking on a snow cover that recalls the Siberian tundra seen in many documentaries. We pass a large barn and went on to a large cross on the left side to reach a quick break, flanked on the right below the lake completely frozen Monscera soon come to pass Monscera 2103 m, from where it has a unique view over giants of the Valais, Weissmies 4023 m, 4010 Lagginhorn me Fletschorn 3996 m. It is believed that the pitch had been used since ancient times, the Simplon to reach before the baron Stockalper in the seventeenth century. costruisse the bold mule to cross the treacherous crossing of the Gorge of Gondo.
The wind is very strong so after some photos we decided to go to the shelter Gattascosa. Lined the opposite bank of the pond where we are, we go down to gentle slopes, the track is usually quite evident, arrived at a trail sign pole continue in slight slope to the top Verosso 2443 m which is located under the beautiful stone building of the shelter Gattascosa 1993 m. The program included the return along the path from San Bernardo to the refuge rooms, but we opt for the return from the same side, the reason is simple, the itinerary is completely in the shade as it is today a magnificent sun shines we still godercelo some now, however anyone who wants it can easily get off and in less than an hour to get to the parking lot. In order not to repeat the same route but mostly for fun, we decided to go through snow up to the huts Micalcesti 1993 Alpe me from here back to the way done in the morning. The Alta Bognanco offers at any time of new emotions, a paradise to be discovered in silence!
