Casera Valfredda Snowshoe

I heard there was some fresh snow but this was beyond expectations: two or three feet of fluffy virgin snow everwhere.  Every bough and tree limb bending  almost to the ground with the weight.  What joy to hike through this spectacle.  Starting from Ronciade through Casera Caseratte, Valfredda and up to the pass with the three repeater towers, it was all perfect.  I followed the same  route back to the start, then drove back down the mountain, tired and happy.
