Driving up a mountain

Rifugio Finonchio Trentino Italy

A photo of that time my aunt and uncle came to visit us. When we took them practically off-roading in their rental car, up the side of a mountain on a road that we were not supposed to be on. And then when we got to the top, it was freezing.

Lucky for them (and us), our destination was delicious. Rifugio F.lli Filzi al Finonchio is one of those mountain restaurants offering hot polenta and cold beer on a mountain top somewhere. They are meant for hikers and mountain bikers to have a place to refuel while out adventuring, and sometimes there is car access, too.

And for the way back down? We found out from the restaurant where that car access actually was, and had a much more pleasant trip.
