Since we had a very mild winter, the second in a row, we decided to go up in the mountains to find some snow. We had a great day out in the Sibillini mountains, bordering Umbria and the Marche: fun for the kids, great food and a stunning landscape.
We started the day in Ussita in the Palaghiaccio to skate. For me it was about 25 years ago and after an uneasy beginning I managed to skate around this enormous indoor skating ring without making a fool of myself ;).
We drove up to Frontignano where the ski slopes are and stopped in Castelluccio di Norcia for lunch.
From here we drove down to Norcia for the yearly truffle event “Nero Norcia“. And look what a suprise we had:
The end of the day in Norcia:

I have some very happy memories of the Sibillini mountains. Great photos.
It is wonderful isn’t it? I enjoy the landscape, the people and the food (!) every time I go there.
I absolutely love the pictures of a wintery Norcia! Did you see any of the Monks? Half of the monastery is Anerican in origin. Can’t wait to visit Norcia this October!
Dear Teresa, we did not see any monks. I think one needs to actually go to the monastery. This is their website: http://osbnorcia.org/en/ Enjoy!
