Winter camping anyone?

Look what arrived last night!

LOOKING OUT ACROSS THE TERRACE TO THE GRAN SASSO MOUNTAINS

...AND THE VIEW TO PASSO LANCIANO SKI RESORT

PASSO LANCIANO AGAIN, BUT WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A ZOOM


And look what arrived this afternoon!

SNOW SHOES!


Now all we need is someone crazy enough to come out and join us!

If you fancy being a snowshoeing guinea pig and helping us to explore a Kokopelli winter and the tracks and trails of the Majella, just get in touch.  

And we're only joking about the camping ;-)   Of course, if you really, really wanted to you could, but we do have a rather nice (and heated) self-catering room, complete with an en-suite shower and loo, for €40 per night (snowshoe hire included).



Just a few piccies of past winters to tempt you out to Kokopelli and Serramonacesca in the snowy season...

Finally, a little piece I wrote for Snowshoe Magazine last year extolling the virtues of the Majella in winter:  http://www.snowshoemag.com/2012/01/14/the-majella-in-winter/


Go on.  You know you want to.

  2. Anywhere and anything's possible in the winter - so long as you're well prepared! Camping in the snow can be magical :-)
