Eating out - Hotel Autentic Adler, Rasun di Sotto, South Tyrol, Italy

The food was a bit salty for our taste, but overall it was a discovery.

It´s nothing like the food you tried so far in Italy, because it´s with strong Austrian influences. The menu of the half-board basus was different every night of the week.

Trip to Lago di Anterselva , South Tyrol, Italy

A frozen lake just at the border with Austria.

The area seems to be a paradise for cross-country skiing.

Trip to Sand in Taufers, South Tyrol, Italy

It's the largest village in the area, with a castle and a waterfall, Cascate di Riva, as well as a rather large aquatic centre.

Hotel review - Autentic Adler ****, Rasun di Sotto, South Tyrol, Italy

The room was really nice and cozy. The bed was comfortable, the staff was nice and the view from the room ...oh, what a view!

The breakfast was better than in other regions in Italy, including also hot and cold food, vegetables, pastries and candied fruits.

Trip to Lake Misurina (views to Tre Cime di Lavaredo), South Tyrol, Italy

A wonderful view of the frosted lake. People were skating and walking around the lake.

Not far you can see the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, one of the symbols of the Dolomites.

Trip to Lake Braies, South Tyrol, Italy
