AURONZO and MISURINA
THE BASE OF THE THREE PEAKS
Auronzo. It is opposed to April and winter to spring. Looking at what moves and what is still, people, landscapes, lakes and the Dolomites, we want to see how it goes, as we live in the mountains, even outside the peak tourist. You live. And we could live better. Among the most beautiful mountains in the world there should be no problems of any kind, either for economic or otherwise. This clearly appears from some witnesses. So breathe in the air near the Three Peaks. The Lake South is in a tight grip of ice. They forget, in this white, the spots of the world. Talk about something else may be unnecessary. We do not even dream of addressing issues like that, and the source of many thorny legal disputes including, the toll road that leads to the Three Peaks in the summer. We do not. He does Walter Antoniol, mayor of Auronzo. Speaking of a new Misurina Three Peaks of the resource, tourism, handicraft and manufacturing activities.
SNOW IN APRIL Auronzo dozes, Friday, April 4, on the shores of the lake and along the stream Ansiei. The heavy snowfalls of the previous two days leave airs winter cold, icy currents. Little traffic, few people. The ski slopes have closed recently and expects the break on 20, Easter Sunday and new tourist arrivals. Clouds chase each other in the dome of the sky. From Piazza Santa Giustina, observed the town with many hotels, restaurants and shops closed, curiosity leads to Misurina.
Auronzo From 864 meters to go up and right after the last houses that the blanket of snow, not dissolved by the sun and ever-increasing, began to accompany the trip. Twenty-two kilometers of white and green of the forest Somadida, a provider of "antennae" for the masts of ships of Venice and of Napoleon. Then, after the junction for Cortina, only the white and the bright ice of Lake Misurina. A bulldozer is at work to release the latest snow-covered roads. Cars pass along the lake towards Dobbiaco and Austria. Some try the tarred road towards the Three Peaks to stop after twenty meters. The snow and defends them from all over the island. One can only venture by renting a snowmobile. It would be just an adventure. "forty centimeters of snow have fallen and the last snowfall was on January 9. We had a good weather season, a show. " The speaker is Bombassei Osvaldo De Bona. He sits at the counter as if on a throne, in the bar kiosk market that operates with his wife, Honoured Court, and three children.
THE SUN AFTER THE SNOW
Saturday, April 5, the day is beautiful, with bright sunshine from early morning. Auronzo sleeping with one degree below zero, and the Bar near the Dam Santa Caterina patrons of 8.00. Coffee, croissants and newspapers to read. "How are you?" I ask. At 9.00 Auronzo continues to gun at. Spent most of the town, dell'Ansiei along the banks, taking the road to Val Da Rin you proceed in an enchanting natural environment, without any hint of presence. Only at 9.30 someone is walking with the dog. Misurina, 10.00 has his race. The fourth relay Alpina consists of evidence-country skiing, alpine skiing slalom and giant. Large groups of athletes are on track Col de Varda, download a German tourist bus for a lakeside walk polar wind that swept over the peaks, raising clouds of snow. On the frozen lake, from February 23 to March 1, horses and riders have played a competitive polo.
NEW MISURINA
"Summer tourism is a driving force and no signs of slowing down. It serves, however, a change of mentality, especially in non-hotel, providing trips weekly and fortnightly, monthly, and not just seasonal. The hotel should increase passing, for example, two to three stars. " These words are the mayor of Auronzo, Walter Antoniol, re-elected in 2002 for a second term. We meet Saturday, April 5 at City Hall, no appointment necessary, available and required in sports. "Misurina has a strong potential" This is his first statement. Which followed the spending commitments that amounted to € 60 thousand 50-to 90 thousand events and addressed to the Consortium Auronzo Misurina in its interventions for clients and the tourism offer. "The summer work," says Antoniol, "the biggest problems are on winter. There is a tight Auronzo but a failure to maintain the whole of Cadore and Comelico. For the winter we suffer from the competition aspect of the Trentino region, but also Agordino, Cortina and the Zoldano. This is why we are intensifying efforts with the mayor refers to 2004, the European Championship Polo on ice, Misurina, and that of Dog Sledding, with the sled dogs that have a center here in Palus San Marco conducted by Renato Muscher Alberoni. The City owns 90% of the lifts, managed by the company Auronzo Winter, is on the slopes of Monte Agudo been improved accommodate these two Ski Bar and is in the modernization of facilities. Considerable cost, according to the mayor, even for lakes: one million euro has been reserved for the promenade of Lake Auronzo.
Misurina remains at the heart of the most challenging projects and delicate. Antoniol speaks of "tourist Conversion of the Three Peaks. The questions to be answered are, "he continues," the type of plant compatible with the environment and the problem of the toll road of the Three Peaks. We are commissioning a feasibility study for a cable car that takes the place of the road sold. " The Mayor Antoniol provides findings that go up each year to the Refuge parking Auronzo 60 thousand cars of the bus line, which is why the City collects approximately two billion dollars. With the wire rope plant, less polluting, we talked about eight months of activity on the two seasons, summer and winter, steps would be hypothesized 3-400 thousand per season. Accounts and costs in hand, a note from € 08.10 per person compared to the existing road would agree that charges € 18 per car.
Antoniol continues, thinking of a new Misurina: "The implementation plan would lead to urban lakeside, the elimination of parking lots and the creation of a campsite. There is the possibility of extension of existing hotels and businesses to the exclusion of the new residential structures. In '98 the Veneto Region has approved the PAAM, Auronzo Misurina Environmental Plan, and now there is a yes for the plan implementation. There are contacts with the architect Snozzi, expert Ticino in Switzerland, so there may be a silo car parks, partly underground, and could be created away from the lake, a new RV area. "
Misurina The importance of the projects and the upgrading of the road environment for the Three Peaks bring in nearly second floor other efforts, reported by the mayor, while important for industrial and artisan Cima Gogna. Auronzo as a base, such as height Misurina, Three Peaks in the riches of heaven are especially unique in this corner Belluno among the most beautiful in the world.
