“Summer is running out and a year goes away … I’m getting big, you know I don’t like it! ” The Righeira sang just like that, in the far-off 1985. I don’t know about you, but to me the eighties seem centuries ago! But punctually in September, to every respectable Italian, this song comes to mind and I noticed that there is no age … even today’s kids know this song! Unfortunately, we have already arrived at the end of this summer, a very hot summer, they say the hottest since 2003 (another year that seems very far away!). What did you do? Where have you been? I went to the sea and then to finish in style, I was in the mountains and as much as I love the sea, this year I particularly loved the mountain. We have been in the Dolomites, in our beloved Alta Badia and like last year, we have chosen the Hotel La Majun, to have the security of being pampered with incredible hospitality, of eating and drinking very well and of feeling at home. Now for me choose to go to Roberta and Natalie, mother and daughter and owners of the Hotel is quite natural, you know how to say it, right? The winning team doesn’t change (another typical thought of an Italian super soccer fan!). For us is the exact same thing. This summer, to our great surprise, we found a Hotel almost totally renovated; in fact, restoration works have been done and in record time! In just over three months they renovated the exterior and added a floor with 8 suites, all fantastic! I could not believe that in such a short time, they could create a practically new hotel; but in Alta Badia this and much more is possible. The new rooms are nothing short of amazing, curious as they are, I wanted to see them all and I could see that each has an incredible view, they are all large and with a breathtaking design. As always, we ate very well and thanks to the cellar of Carlo, Natalie’s father, we drank some excellent wine. I relaxed in their SPA, Nicola and Ginevra played and swam in their pool and in the evening after dinner, we had fun playing all three of them in some boxed game. I love this kind of vacation that reminds me a lot when I was a child and today, like then, we walked a lot during the day and in the evening, we relaxed in the hotel! I believe that Alta Badia in summer is a great choice, but believe me that in addition to the famous winter period, autumn is also a wonderful season to climb high and get lost in those mountains and in those colors, which have been proclaimed among the most beautiful in the world.

Di cose belle io e Ginevra ultimamente ne abbiamo fatte, ma lasciatemelo dire….. tra le più divertenti, al primo posto sicuramente, c’è il soggiorno che abbiamo passato in Alta Badia. Chi di voi non conosce le Dolomiti? Pensate che con me e Ginevra è venuta la mia mamma e nonostante lei non sia un’amante della montagna mi ha detto “Nicole non ho mai visto niente di più bello!”. Le Dolomiti sono così: o le ami o le adori! Io e la mia bimba siamo andate a scoprire i parchi in quota dell’Alta Badia che sono estesi su una superficie di 32 Mq, hanno 33 tipologie diverse di attività e per gli amanti delle passeggiate in montagna potete trovare oltre 400 km di sentieri.

Noi siamo stati in due parchi: il primo giorno  al Summer Park La Crusc situato sotto il Santa Croce e il secondo giorno il Parco Movimënt al Piz Sorega. Abbiamo soggiornato a La Villa, presso l’hotel La Majun, dove tutte e tre siamo state coccolate e trattate come delle vere principesse.

La mattina seguente siamo risalite in alta quota con l’impianto Santa Croce , che abbiamo raggiunto in pochi minuti di auto. Abbiamo infatti trovato il Summer Park La Crusc, un parco diviso in più punti dove in ognuno c’era un’attività molto divertente.

La prima cosa che abbiamo fatto è stata quello di giocare con il laghetto artificiale che abbiamo trovato, poi ci siamo nascoste dentro alle capanne degli indiani e poi abbiamo conosciuto un drago malvagio sotto una grotta.

Mia madre e Ginevra hanno giocato al tiro al bersaglio, dove il lancio veniva fatto con dei sassi reali e il bersaglio era un albero fatto in legno con dei buchi al suo interno.  Ginevra ha giocato in seguito con i Castori di legno e tutti insieme abbiamo persino setacciato l’oro!

La mattinata è passata in modo divertente e veloce. In seguito abbiamo preso la piccola seggiovia che porta alla chiesetta del Santuario di Santa Croce e abbiamo pranzato proprio nel ristoro che si trova lì. Siamo rientrate in hotel molto serene e felici.

Il giorno seguente in auto ci siamo recate a San Cassiano e siamo risalite fino al Piz Sorega: l’entusiasmo di Ginevra nel vedere il Bear Park Piz Sorega è difficile da spiegare! C’erano così tante cose da fare che non sapeva nemmeno lei da dove iniziare!

Il parco situato al Piz Sorega si sviluppa intorno alla scoperta dell’Orso. Ecco che potrete trovare uno spazio con la sabbia dove i vostri bambini potranno scavare e trovare il fossile di un vecchio orso lasciato lì da secoli; entrare dentro la caverna interattiva per scoprire di cosa si nutre un orso, dove dorme e quanto può essere protettivo quando è con il suo cucciolo.

Ma potrete anche giocare con i vostri figli nel percorso dell’acqua, in uno spazio dove c’è una sorta di mini palestra; poi ancora al mini golf e potrete andare in altalena con i vostri figli. Andare a pranzo quel giorno è stata un po’ dura….

Ginevra non voleva più staccarsi da tutti quei giochi … ma alla fine ci siamo riuscite e siamo andate a mangiare! Ci sono varie soluzioni per fare un ottimo pranzo. Una delle migliori è quella di continuare la passeggiate, che dura circa un’ora e mangiare nel rifugio Pralongià . In agosto torneremo in Alta Badia, ma non sappiamo ancora quali nuove avventure ci attendono! E allora possiamo dirvi solo di seguirci, perché vi racconterò tutto il prima possibile! Vi abbraccio.

Me and Ginevra have recently made beautiful things, but let me say … among the most fun, in the first place certainly, there is the time we spent in Alta Badia. Which of you does not know the Dolomites? Do you think that with me and Ginevra, came also my mother, and even though she is not a mountain lover she told me “Nicole I have never seen anything more beautiful!”. My daughter and I went to discover the high-altitude parks. The parks spread over an area of ​​32 square meters, have 33 different types of activities and for lovers of mountain walks you can find more than 400 km of signposted trails. We stayed in two parks: the first day the Summer Park la Crusc located under the Santa Croce and the second day the Park Movimënt  at Piz Sorega. We stayed in La Villa, at the La Majun hotel , where we were pampered and treated like royalty. The following morning we climbed at high altitude at the Santa Croce  facilities, which we reached in a few minutes by car. Once arrived at altitude, our amazement was incredible … Ginevra started to jump. In fact, we found a park divided into several points where everyone had a very fun activity. The first thing we did was to play with the artificial lake we found, then we hid inside the Indian huts and then met an evil dragon under a cave. My mother and Ginevra played target shooting, where the throw was made with real stones and the target was a tree made of wood with holes in it. Ginevra played with the wood beavers later and together we even sifted the gold! The morning passed in a fun and fast way. Later we took the small chairlift that leads to the church of the Santa Croce Sanctuary and we had lunch at the restaurant located there. We came back to the hotel very serene and happy. The following day by car we went to San Cassiano and we went up to the Piz Sorega plateau: the enthusiasm of Ginevra in seeing that park is difficult to explain!There were so many things to do that she did not even know where to start! The Moviment park located at Piz Sorega develops around the cave bear discovery.Here you can find a space with sand where your children can dig and find the fossil of a bear left there for centuries; enter the interactive cave to discover what a bear is feeding, where it sleeps and how much it can be protective when it is with its cub. But you can also play with your children in the water path, in a space where there is a sort of mini-gym; then again at the mini golf and you can go swing with your children. Going to lunch that day was a bit ‘hard … .Ginevra no longer wanted to break away from all those games … but in the end we succeeded and we went to eat!There are various solutions to make a great lunch. One of the best is to continue the walks, which lasts about an hour and eat in the Pralongiá hut. In August we will return to Alta Badia, but we still do not know what new adventures await us! So, we can only tell you to follow us, because I will tell you all as soon as possible! I hug you.
