- Late morning: This is where #Atdawninamountaindairy comes to an end… now you can also allow yourself a little nap!
Mi è piaciuto il tipo di attività svolte, la visione dell'alba in quota, le spiegazioni e la disponibilità della guida alpina e le attività e la colazione in malga. Avrei preferito più coinvolgimento da parte degli organizzatori allo scopo di creare maggior aggregazione tra i componenti del gruppo.
Non ho avuto difficoltà a prenotare e neanche durante l'attività.
Consiglio l'esperienza in quanto ho visitato luoghi e strutture non conosciute a tutti.
Grazie mille dell'esperienza offerta.
