EVERYONE must have a break now and again and we chose tiny Madesimo in the Italian Alps for a wonderful week's relaxation at the end of January.That's Fran and I relaxing at 3000 meters, a place where the ski season ends in June! It was all sunshine, warmth and sparkling snow. Skiing? Great. Did we try it? Not at this level, where the runs - on and off piste - looked suicidal. Fran sat it out altogether, Maggie and I did well on the least demanding of the blue runs. Maggie and I did get brave near the end of our stay and went up the mountain to try out a longer blue run. It was NOT a good idea. Scary slopes which, well before the end of the run, turned into a vicious red one.
To save life and limb, we walked to the end.
