A great day out! My wife and I went with some friends for a walk
on the snow from Villanova (Pellice Valley) to Rifugio Jervis (mountain
refuge), that was first thought of as a snowshoes outing, but, as it
turned out, there wasn’t any need for snowshoes and we could easily walk
up with our boots only.
Coming back down I actually wore my “city” crampons (a slip-on pair for ice patches you normally find into towns), and they somehow helped my descent.
The walk was 6.5 km return with a difference of 550m up, from start to finish. It took us short of 2 hours going and about one hour for the descent.
We had lunch at the refuge, with polenta and stew, with krauts and peppers, plus a small slice of jam tart and a shot of serpillo – a mountain herb liqueur :-)

I’ve been very pleased with myself, as I managed the walk in good time, and above all, I managed not to over-eat :-)
This dietary regime I’m following is teaching me how to evaluate my meals, and I now manage to always leave the table satisfied but not over-stuffed :-D
I now reached 84.5k, which leave 4.5k to my final goal – I’m very happy, because I eat plenty, mostly vegan/vegetarian, and I do very little effort to stick to it. This time it seems I’m really getting somewhere :-)
