Val d’Aosta and the Dolomites: for mountain lovers there are no alarms or red zones



[ad_1]

Even though we’re red
We are not afraid
we have nice and good legs
and in boots we put on …
Oilì, oilì, oilà and power will not win
And the other beautiful skiers want freedom!

Apparently for many mountain enthusiasts there are no ruby, scarlet, vermilion or violet alarms and zones that will hold up: Winter Break are coming and since the first snow fell not even the prohibitions of COVID-19 and avalanche bulletins with maximum danger. The first emblematic photo, of a kind of assault on Marbled of enthusiasts with furs under their skis, was carried in the battered Veneto of the second wave.

In Trentino worse than going at night. Two Sundays ago there were crowds at the Bergamo Orobie and Lecco Pre-Alps: both in parking lots and outside the most popular shelters, they were scrambling to find a place. Even yesterday, despite that moment, there were several interventions by Alpine rescue.

All quiet, so to speak, right in Val d’Aosta, due to a local legend issued on the fly, having immediately reached the record for negative saturation of hospital beds at the end of November (229%, sic! considering it was at 129 the second worst region, Lombardy …) . For this reason, in the Val d’Aosta they have decided to resort to aspecific ordinance to prevent the usual flocks of mountain skiers from reaching under the mountains. Since the provision still left freedom of movement for mountain guides and extreme ski instructors, with their clients, it was immediately raised a cry of alarm: Decision “unacceptable and liberticide”, thundered the Academics of the Italian Alpine Club, a true elite mountaineers of high technical level.

The president of the Aosta Valley Alpine Guides resigned, agreeing to the decision that was later contested by various mountain professionals, first of all the Lombard boarding school. The logic of the measure was simple: reduce at best the presence of mountain skiers, taking into account how few potential users are of this hundred professional operators in effective permanent service.

In addition, the guides of origin know very well the specific condition of their mountains as well as the emergency situation emergency department in Aosta, and should be able to assess whether and which itinerary to undertake better than a Sunday mountain skiing, even the strongest in the world, which came from who knows where.

Among other things, some of the new testimonies from the mountaineering scene, gives Hervè Barmasse a Francois cazzanelli, always looking for companies that later companies in the sector love to expand. Also wanting to consider the measure discriminatory, it is necessary to point out its homogeneity with what was decided for alpine skiing, where sportsmen and ski clubs could continue going to the slopes, and in fact the installers received additional ad hoc funding for this. .

It is clear that not a few have taken advantage of this excuse, and the Val d’Aosta region has had to fire the top management of the Matterhorn company because they had obscured a webcam, after some shameful shots of queues and meetings in the forbidden period: was it possible that they were all athletes and teachers?

It is also known that in Lombardy the red zone, for example, the crafty people of the mountain ski district were noticed who quickly registered with the Italian Winter Sports Federation, who also walked in pairs, from the same sports club, willing to claim that one was the instructor and the other the student, “national level athletes” free to train as the new dcpm says …

Speaking of those who are always trying to get their way, take a look at this from a great hotel in one of the most touristic valleys in the Dolomites, where rich people and VIPs from all over the world are used to, including a former prime minister. unnameable Italian. In this high end hotel Everything will be open regularly, from the sauna to the buffet breakfast, as if nothing else, both antigen tests do it when necessary.

And be careful! The magnificent spas and wellness centers also offer medical attention of various kinds: aesthetics, purification, weight loss and nutrition, prevention and diagnosis, stress management. Therefore, on the site for days there has been a warning for customers not to worry about bans and dcpm: “come on, gentlemen, come”, just book a spa treatment and medicine, and here you are provided with medical certificates travel quietly at any time, be it yellow, orange or red: more “health reasons” than this is not possible.

After all, a “basic home check” of health prevention It costs just over 300 euros, where the cheapest basic room travels to more than 500 a day at Christmas.
