With everything going on in the world right now, it’s a breath of fresh air to pause and catch a moment like this — a beetle, wings halfway open, ready to take off from a bed of fresh blossoms. Nature keeps moving, and sometimes that’s exactly the reminder we need.
At the break of dawn, Alessandro and I kicked off our Sunday ride from Bardonecchia, aiming for the charm of Névache. The morning air was brisk, a perfect companion for our adventure as we opted for the lesser-known alpine route.
Our first stop was a serene lake, offering a moment of tranquility before we tackled the climb to Aguille Rouge. Despite the rugged path, the panoramic views were nothing short of spectacular, with towering peaks and sprawling valleys stretching as far as the eye could see.
The descent back to Bardonecchia was a thrilling ride. We raced down the mountainside, the wind whipping past us, each twist and turn a rush of excitement and shared laughter. By the time we rolled into Camp Smith, we were exhilarated, with stories of an unforgettable ride that took us from Bardonecchia to Névache and back again, proving that the adventurous route is always worth it.

While riding my enduro bike along the forest trails, I suddenly spotted something on the ground. I stopped to investigate and was surprised to find a perfect boletus edulis.
Its rich color stood out against the dirt, and I couldn’t help but smile at this unexpected find on my ride.
I found this gem while doing a short Enduro ride today.
Here’s another wallpaper for your phone. I took this photo in the summer after successfully climbing the mountain on my electric bike. After the descent, I paused for a moment and realized how stunning the scenery was. I hope you enjoy it! You can view it in full resolution by clicking on the picture.

On a crisp winter night in Pescocostanzo, Abruzzo, Italy, I decided to venture out in hopes of capturing some stunning photos of the surrounding mountains at dawn.
I was fortunate enough to take these pictures with my iPhone, none of them have been edited.
