For “Pasquetta” or Easter Monday, in Italy it is traditional
that one gets out of the house for a trip to some place or other.
To comply with this tradition I decided to catch the last of
the snow up in the Apennines. My
destination was Monte Cavalbianco on the
Praderena Pass between Emilia and Tuscany.

Under normal conditions it is an easy little hike taking
about 45minutes to get to the top, but with snow it was a lot more hard going
and I decided to stop half way up as I was not too well equipped for the snow.

The strong winds of the last few days had left a curious
surface to the snow in certain places.

I had a splendid afternoon and the views with the cloudless
skies were wonderful.
