Where to go in the Alps in winter and summer

In the period between the two world wars, under initiative of the Agnelli family from Turin, northeast Italy, on a hill that connects the Chisone Valley with the Susa Valley, was born Sestriere, a complex of facilities and hotel equipment that today has few rivals in Europe.

For mountain lovers the Alps are like heaven, but while Dolomites offer incredible landscapes, while Swiss and Austrian destinations offer a 1 year long ski season, the peaks at the boarder between France and Italy are a more chic travel option, between big cities like Turin and Grenoble, ideal for who likes to have all the commodities, join trendy parties and assist to important events.

My name is Manuela Arroyo, I'm spanish and last year I was living in Italy for the Erasmus Program, precisely in Milan. It's there where my blog was born: De maleta en maleta, Manuela Arroyo, with the aim to fulfill that information lack that I found each time I was on travel to an unknown destination and thus to help who later on would want to visit those places.

My blog is the right place for all those who need hints about different cities, suggestions of hotels and hostels, where to eat and also where to go clubbing. Travel is one of my passions and I showed it last year: never stop moving from one place to another.

Pierapertosa

Pietrapertosa is one of the villages included in the park of the Lucan Dolomites, the mounts so called because their peaks remember the more famous Dolimites of the Alps.

Rome has been the center of the empire and Florence the birthplace of italian culture, but the first capital of Italy was Turin! That’s the third gadders destination where we are stopping in our travel through the Bel Paese! An underestiamted destination that you could discover an enchanting city…

Prior to 2006 Winter Olympics for many foreigners Turin was even hard to find on a map. After the Games not only tourists have begun to reach the city, but they loved it. Because Turin reinvented itself: birthplace of unified Italy and known in the twentieth century as the city of Fiat and Juventus, today shows itself as a splendid art city, solemn and contemporary at the same time, one step away from the Alps and from the Ligurian Coast.
