Inauguration of one of the three steepest ski slopes in the world, called Black Wall

In the Swiss Alps, a black slope called 'one of the three steepest in the world' was inaugurated by the company that manages the Glacier 3000 ski resort of Les Diablerets, in the Canton of Vaud.

Called 'Black Wall', it is a three-kilometre descent that, thanks to a 265-metre-long tunnel carved into the mountain, makes it possible to ski from the highest part of the lifts (over 3,000 metres) to the col du Pillon (1,546 metres).

Its maximum gradient of 104% (46°),' Glacier 3000 announces, 'makes it steeper than the Streif in Kitzbühel (Austria) or the Lauberhorn in Wengen (Switzerland), two famous downhill events of the Alpine Ski World Cup.

Cime Bianche project, Europe's largest ski area with 432 km of slopes

The Cime Bianche project was supposed to involve the creation of a cableway system capable of creating one of the largest ski areas in the world.

According to a report in the British newspaper The Telegraph, the ski area would include the slopes of Zermatt (Switzerland), Cervinia, Champoluc, Gressoney and Alagna, for a total of around 500 km. The problem, according to some environmental associations, is that the project would also affect an area included in special protection zones of the Nature Network 2000.

After some controversy, the Aosta Valley Regional Council decided by a majority to go ahead with the project to build a cableway connection between Val d'Ayas and Valtournenche, via Cime Bianche.

In Italy there is a split mountain

The complex of the Split Mountain of Gaeta (province of Latina) is set in the context of three cracks in the rock. It follows a staircase of 35 steps, which leads to the deep, suggestive central fissure, which, according to Christian tradition, would have been formed at the death of Christ. In the complex there are also a sanctuary and the cave of the Turk, whose hand would also be imprinted on the rock of the split Mountain. The extraordinary beauty of the place and the evocative atmosphere have made its fame international, so much so that it is a destination for continuous pilgrimages for the faithful.

Foliage, the most spectacular places to admire it in Italy

The term foliage literally means foliage, but over time this word has taken on another very special meaning as it is associated with the changing color of tree leaves in autumn. Foliage today is a phenomenon that can generate its own type of tourism. Also thanks to social networks, and the photographs that are posted, some places have become known precisely for admiring foliage at its best. In some areas, such as Switzerland, for example, train tours are even created to admire the color of the autumn leaves of the trees in the forests.
