We leave home on a hot summer morning.
When you go to the mountains, everyone tries to overcome a limit. It can be geographical, physical, mental. For this project, on the contrary, we have imposed the limit. Along the lines of the quarantine restrictions, in which it was possible to move only within one’s own municipality, we decided to walk the peaks that surround Trento, the city in which we live. The limit we set not to exceed was:
1) on every peak we always had to see Trento;
2) do not use any means of transport.
We leave home on a hot summer morning, in 3 days we reach 6 peaks for a total of 58 km with a positive difference in height of over 4500 meters. Also for this trek we have chosen to be autonomous for the preparation of the food and the vegetables used in the drying process were self-produced.
In climbing the peaks on which we have walked hundreds of times the feeling is strange, the people we meet talk to us as if we were tourists because of our big backpacks and in fact this is how we feel. We cross a small river where we regenerate with a frozen bath and then on the next peak we admire the city from a different perspective. You hear the echo of the valley, with its highway, its trains, like a rumbling of a belly that engulfs and devours any thought that tries to escape it.
