|| MAGICAL PLATEAU || by Bruno Soares

When you travel to Italy, Dolomites are not the destination that comes to the will of most people. Maybe this is why these mountains are so magical!
This magic begins as soon as the road leaves its straight lines and they begin to meander through majestic trees.
That same magic is shown when you think you are on a field looking at the mountains, when in fact you are in the middle of them looking at authentical fingers coming out of that ground rising even higher! Suddenly it is night and a storm arrives. Something so strong that it will pull trees from the ground turning this whole stage into a Mikado game. It is still night when you wake up, with a more eased Mother Nature. You decide to go out to see what happened, because out there everything green, yellow and reddish became white. You start driving up the road, the car skates, it’s ice you have under the wheels!
You keep going to arrive in time to see the sun warming that white velvet cloak. And you have to do it in an epic location, on the largest plateau in Europe that rises almost 2000m in altitude! In the Alpe di Siusi! If you already felt big for being so high, your heart would be filled by the sight of the horizon with authentic pink stone cliffs, that had once been under the sea, rising from the ground, and your soul would be warmed by the cosy wooden houses all over the plateau that snuggled you from the cold your body felt.
