Only a few days left without fear, without being afraid of going outside, because then we will find the dangerous devils. People avoid going out of their houses and look curiously out from their windows.
The traditional pageants invite people to see the devils from a short distance. Here some important dates:
Autumn it is
Foot sinking into green carpet’s moss
Natural earthly tender cross
Autumnal soul of the forests
Lingering sounds up the crests
Open wide bird’s prison cage
Finally free it hurridly escapes
Trees foliage slowly undresses
leaves into mud get pressed
Follow the winding road
Away of hunting crowd
Listen to nature’s silence
Free of human’s guidance
Riverbed serpentine overflows
Hush hush sound of crows
Mist swallows surroundings
Swirls the breeze in bindings
Shadowy sceneries autumnal
Such a magnificent proposal
Yellow orange brown and prune
Turning into a painter’s colored tune
Autumn it is
Mencita Monoi Angel
And here a webcam recording of Valdaora:
The Puster Valley is located between East Tyrol and Mühlbach. Entering this Valley, well known as “Val Pusteria” or “Pustertal”, you see a magical landscape: deciduous and coniferous woodland, beautiful lakes, blooming flowers, high mountains, healthy air ecc. Making holiday in Val Pusteria means recreation between nature. But not only outside you can enjoy your holiday: comfortable hotels in Val Pusteria make your free days perfect, particularly on rainy days or in winter time. Most of these hotels are provided with swimming pools, spa area, beauty and sport area… That’s not enough: also the private rooms and apartments in Pustertal are very restful. Often the hosts offer typical products and special events. Val Pusteria is a country of big variety – best comfort everywhere for everyone.
This winter season the ski area Plan de Corones offers a great novelty for all freestylers: the “Snowpark Kronplatz”, the largest snow park in South Tyrol. At about 800 meters freestyle fans with the skis or snowboard, can have a lot of fun. The snow park is accessible by the lifts of the Kronplatz, for example from Valdaora and offers 4 lines in various degrees of difficulty, and a Family Fun Line with little steep curves and obstacles.
Every year takes place the Biathlon World Cup in Anterselva, near the lake. The best biathletes of the world fight for a (gold-) medal on these days (22nd – 25th January 2009), while they get motivated from their best fans. Running power and concentration on the shooting stand are very important. Some athletes lose their concentration and give off their first place.
Among the runs, the Valle Anterselva offers a great program and so everybody can have an unforgettable weekend.
Did you know that the Dolomiti Superski region took place not only the Olympic winter-games, but also a ski worldcup? Those sport events taked place on 1956 in Cortina and 1970 in Val Gardena.
