We have picnic-lunched in some spectacular spots all around the world – mostly involving lakes/streams, amazing views, trees, blue skies and a decent rock to lay our essential sit-mats on. Yesterday was one of those spots – we took a proper cable car (as opposed to the metal buckets at Molveno!) from Madonna di Campiglio (around the other side of the Brenta Dolomites, to the West), then walked an hour in brilliant sun with clearest views yet (after rain and wind cleared the pan European pollution from the valleys).
And found this – Lake Malghette
After idyllic lunch, walked around the lake and even better views
And what did we spy at the far end – yet another Refugio with views, food and hospitality par excellence. A log cabin been there for a hundred years and the photos of it in the snow nearly make us want to learn to ski – nearly.
Had to stop for ice cream, though!QUESTION: Is this a better than Tarn Hows?
Certainly a close competitor if Tarn Hows has the blue skies, but not sure the Lake District National Park planners would allow a cafe right on the lake
and the Park Authorities here don’t keep the bridges up as well as the National Trust!
