More and more of them are tempted by a vacation far from everything to take a step back and take a breather. In the Southern Alps, hikers, mainly from cities, are looking for disconnection.
“You can put your phones on airplane mode.” The guide warned travelers, this getaway is totally disconnected, on the heights of the Southern Alps. This is what these doctors, engineers, marketing professionals were looking for. City dwellers who, for the most part, do not know each other and are going to spend two days together. “I was mainly looking to get away from it all”admits Maria, an engineer in Paris.
A hike reserved for regular athletes with its 900 meters of elevation gain and a 13-kilo backpack on the back. To avoid having to carry an extra five kilos of water a day, the adventurers filter the water from the lakes and after seven hours of walking, finally put down their suitcases. A short rest, with a scheduled departure at 4 am to arrive on the ridge before sunrise and observe Italy. A plan undermined by the fog, which however will not erase the memories of these intense hikes.
