Sunset in Paradise - a photo on Flickriver

Sunset in Paradise

Sunset at the “Fratelli Leonessa” bivouac (altitude: 2,910 m).

Reachable in 4 hours and 30 minutes hike from Valnontey, Aosta Valley (Italy).
It is located on a ridge covered by large boulders, at the base of the eastern face of Herbetet, not far from the Tribolazione glacier, in the heart of the Gran Paradiso National Park.

Many think that in the mountains there are only refuges, but no, there are also bivouacs :-) my favorites!

The bivouacs allow us to LIVE the mountains at all hours, in relative safety and comfort.
Yes, it’s necessary to bring everything: food, water, sleeping bag, warm clothes for the cold hours, but being able to experience the mountains in total freedom, autonomy and solitude, is a real blessing.

Like the tent (which however involves additional weight in the backpack), they are the only way to stay overnight in absolutely remote places, strategically close to the view you want to admire at all hours; in its slow changing of shades, reflections and color... from the light of day to the silent dark mantle of the night.

IN THE GRAN PARADISO NATIONAL PARK

Enter the park in silence:
the flowers will speak to you of love,
colors will paint your soul with joy,
the winds will infuse you with their freshness,
the storms with their energy,
the boundless horizons will open your soul to infinity,
and the peace of nature will be within you,
as the rays of the sun penetrate the branches of trees,
your worries will fall like autumn leaves
and you will find yourself,
God, the others.
