A weekend to remember , between Fonni and Desulo . And never mind if the white blanket is only present at high altitude , despite the snowfalls of recent days.
On this weekend in March many people reached the peaks of Gennargentu, Bruncuspina in the lead . «We wanted to be there at all costs, to spend some days in this wonderful place», says a woman from the Cagliari area, while pulling a sled and playing with her few-year-old daughter. «We took a room in a hotel in the center of Fonni – he explains –. Everything is going well. We are in the snow, we relax and we can appreciate excellent cuisine."
Desire for snow and mountains. In this anomalous winter, where too often mild temperatures have characterized the days, many have decided to reach the peaks of the island .
«Snow is a resource for us, it is of great importance - declares Mario Piras, municipal councilor for public works, from Fonni -. Just think of the related industries: the economic repercussions on the country are undeniable. We are a tourist centre. It's a shame that there was little snow this year."
At the heights the cars continue to arrive. The snake of vehicles can be seen among the hairpin bends that lead to the mountain resort. It's just a shame that we still have to wait for the opening of the Bruncuspina facilities .
«I'm having a lot of fun», says a boy from Assemini with his inseparable snowboard: «The weather holds up, every now and then you can even glimpse a ray of sunshine. Of course, if the ski lifts had been in operation, I would have done more descents. And I would have had even more fun."
