E' stata inaugurata la nuova cabinovia Skyway che porta dai 1300 metri di Courmayeur ai 3460 di Punta Helbronner in 19 minuti. Poi si puo' proseguire per Chamonix. E' uno sbalzo di 2160 metri che puo' essere pericoloso per chi ha problemi di ipertensione. Io avevo preso la vecchia funivia fino al Rifugio Torino senza problemi, ma un mio amico stava male. Poi e' morto in Himalaya. Amazing. THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD:) http://www.montebianco.com/ An extreme engineering challenge at 3.500 mt, between the eternal ice of Mont Blanc. With Skyway you will be immersed in a breathtaking landscape thanks to the 360° rotating cabins and 3 futuristic stations with restaurants, bars and entertainment services. Seems like the constructor builders have to be mountaineers:) I didn't know that hypertension could be a problem at high altitudes... |

Your blood pressure goes up in altitude. But I am wondering how much of the mountain spirit is left to people taking this technological machine. In the mountains, as you go up with your feet, you understand you are a part of a whole encompassing the mountain and you. This is what I felt when I was a ypung climber. Tullio |

I was also thinking of the mountain spirit. 19 minutes in a cabin looking out seems more like sitting home and watching TV. Well. I have seen Mont Blanc from Courmayeur and from above flying over it. I haven't done any mountain climbing but walked in the Alpes a couple of times. But the feeling that you want up is there all the times. Come to think about Ötzi... |

I've seen mountains from Triglav in Slovenia (beautiful its National Park) to Mont Blanc from Courmayeur and also from the Aiguilles Rouges above Chamonix. I've talked with Walter Bonatti in Van Veny and in Milano. Great man. Tullio |

E' morta Laura Antonelli, nata Laura Antonaz a Pola, attrice celebre sopratutto per il film "Malizia" di tipo porno soft. Si era ritirata dalle scene da vent'anni e viveva in solitudine. RIP. Tullio |

Vincenzo Nibali vince a Superga il Campionato Italiano Professionisti e si prepara al Tour. E' molto magro e pedala molto bene. |

In Sonkajärvi, ​​Finland, has Ville Parviainen renewed their world title in wife-carrying (Kärringkånk) from last year, but with a new racing partner this time. The singer Lena PH Philipson competed for blue and yellow, but was without a medal. https://translate.google.se/translate?sl=sv&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.svt.se%2Fnyheter%2Futrikes%2Fville-varldsmastare-i-karringkank&edit-text= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWGC1oRgbq4 |
