South Tyrol <\/b>is very seductive. It tempts you with the gorgeous views, many skiing opportunities, its cuisine influenced by Italy and Alps. I must admit that every time I went skiing to Austria with my friends, I had dreamt of skiing in Italy because of the cuisine. And then I suspended these dreams because life had forced me to put away my skis for 5 years!<\/p>\n

In the past I had skied quite regularly, although only once a season, or even once every two seasons. I associate skiing with pure pleasure because it constantly reminds me of my first time on a slope with my friend, somewhere near the town of Nowy Targ, of the camp in a Tatra village Bia\u0142ka Tatrza\u0144ska, of my Dad\u2019s struggles on a slope and of a friendship initiated somewhere between a schuss and ride in a chairlift in Austria\u2026 It reminds me of conversations and taking breaks for fried cheese (in Czech Republic), huge sweet potato dumplings with vanilla sauce, poppy seed and cinnamon (in Austria), or salted smoked cheese (oscypek) with cranberry sauce (in the town of Zakopane)\u2026 It reminds me of the most beautiful views, snowy pine trees and of sore muscles after spending an entire day on a slope\u2026 It reminds me of blue skies, sunny days and loads of snow\u2026<\/p>\n

These are all good memories, however, I\u2019ve abandoned skiing for quite a while because we fell in love with exotic journeys in the winter, because \u0141ukasz doesn\u2019t ski (well, he hadn\u2019t skied until last Friday! :)), because I was pregnant, because we had a baby and because there\u2019s a child on board\u2026<\/p>\n

And finally came 2014 and we found out that we have two skiing trips <\/b>ahead of us! So, after a 5-year-long break, I put on my boots, put on my skis, grab my poles and leave for the slope! \ud83d\ude42 The spot: South Tyrol<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"Po\u0142udniowy<\/a>

we start our day with a 30-kilometer-long piste Giro delle Cime<\/p><\/div>\n

South Tyrol<\/b>, or S\u00fcdtirol <\/b>is the northernmost Italian province. This location is responsible for the extraordinary character of the area that combines the Austrian and the Italian influences. You might even forget where you are, as you can constantly hear both Italian and German. I.e. the mother language of approximately 85% of the residents of San Candido, where we are located is German, and only 15% of the residents speak Italian! I get confused in shops and restaurants, I don\u2019t know which language to speak, so I finally settle for English with bits of Italian. Well, I don\u2019t speak German anyway.<\/p>\n

The little towns of S\u00fcdtirol bring Austria to mind, but the cuisine of the region looks like and smells of Italian food (and that\u2019s great news!). Everywhere we go for lunch or dinner there\u2019s tagliatelle, ravioli, tortelloni <\/i>or gnocchi <\/i>on the menu! It\u2019s every gourmand\u2019s dream come true, although this variant of Italian cuisine significantly varies from the variant offered in the south. Moreover, one of the key products of the region \u2013 speck <\/b>\u2013 is a combination of Alpine and Italian influences \u2013 I\u2019ll tell you more about speck and other regional delicacies in a separate post.<\/p>\n

\"speck,<\/a>

speck and gherkins – the basic starter<\/p><\/div>\n

\"tortelloni<\/a>

cheese and pepper tortelloni over duck carpaccio – what a treat in a mountain restaurant!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"tiramisu,<\/a>

desert? it has to be tiramisu!<\/p><\/div>\n

I wanted to conclude this post with a section on food, but of course I couldn\u2019t help myself and it came out differently \ud83d\ude42 The area itself is gorgeous \u2013 the views are breathtaking, the pistes are overwhelming: the organization, the modern solutions, and there are charming little towns, such as San Candido\/Innichen <\/b>where we are based.<\/p>\n

\"San<\/a>

San Candido in the evening<\/p><\/div>\n

San Candido isn\u2019t too far away from Kronplatz <\/b>\u2013 one of the most famous ski resorts in Italy, and it\u2019s quite close to Versciaco <\/b>where we set off for the 30-kilometer-long Ciro delle Cime. <\/b>I\u2019ll soon tell you more about South Tyrol from the viewpoint of a skier \u2013 for now, I\u2019ll leave you with the pictures, to whet your appetite \ud83d\ude42 Not only for pastas, speck and tiramisu, but also for the winter sport challenges that you might experience here! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Po\u0142udniowy<\/a>

let’s go!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Kronplatz,<\/a>

let’s take a break<\/p><\/div>\n

I\u2019ll tell you more very soon! I woke up early in the morning, covered approx. 25 km on skis (I\u2019m really happy but such a challenging outdoor physical exercise makes you very sleepy in the evening!!! :)) and had a cooking lesson of one of the local delicacies\u2026 So, goodnight! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
