🇮🇹 Gran Sasso – Campo Imperatore

Today, we’re off to the mountains, driving to the stunning Gran Sasso National Park. It’s a refreshing escape from the heat wave in town! Up here, the weather is just right, and we get to enjoy breathtaking views: towering mountains, endless meadows, and a peaceful atmosphere. The perfect spot to recharge and cool down away from the scorching heat !

Just before reaching Campo Imperatore, we spot an unexpected sight: food trucks in the mountains serving Arrosticini! 😋 We had to stop. Arrosticini are delicious skewers of sheep meat, perfectly grilled over coals, a must-try specialty from Abruzzo. The smell and taste are incredible, especially paired with the stunning mountain views. A delicious stop that’s definitely worth it!

We’ve finally made it to Lake Garda! We’re settling into our vacation apartment in Aer (Tignale), near Gardola, on the western side of the lake. The first thing that catches our eye is the view from the terrace: absolutely stunning! The lake stretches endlessly, surrounded by mountains, and the peace of this place is just perfect. An ideal spot to relax and enjoy the days ahead!
