White Christmas in the mountains in Italy


This year we spent Christmas in Italy, in my old village in the Appennines, we arrived on 11 December and after a few days we were blessed by snow. I loved looking out of the window and seeing snowdrops, animal footprints on the ground and little birds coming to the window for a break.


 My village is Sestola, in the province of Modena, looking good with a white mantle.

Winter delights

The best thing was skiing on Christmas Day, up in Passo del Lupo. Glorious day and good snow. 


I also did a few walks around the Lago della Ninfa, next to Passo del Lupo.




A view of the Cimone Mountain, the second highest mountain in the Apennines.

Near home there are also a few lovely places where to walk and enjoy the winter 'wonderland'. A great end to 2017, and a lovely experience for the family.
