Tur/Retur Milano, Bormio and St. Moritz

Ill release my photos from my recent trip to northern Italy and southeastern Switzerland here. From Monday 4th of April to Monday 10th of April i spent a week visiting Milano, Bormio, Livigno and St. Moritz. All i can say is that the trip was gorgeous, and i hope you enjoy viewing the images.

On monday 4th of april i took the airplane to Malpensa (Milano) from Værnes (Trondheim) via. Gardermoen (Oslo). Clouded over Norway, but a nice weather south of Oslo and whole the way down to Milano. But it was quite misty over Denmark and Germany, so i was not able too take some many images from there. From Malpensa i went with the bus up the valley through Lecco, Sondrio and Tirano to i finally reached the little village Semogo about 10km north of Bormio where i was to stay for 5 night.

Gallery 1: Flying over Europe


Pertly clouded over Trøndelag, but it was mostly clouded the whole way between Værnes and Gardermoen.






Closing Gardermoen.


Didn't take many images of Denmark and Germany, too misty over there, but this is some air traffic over Hamburg.

Gallery 2: Bormio

Bormio was a really nice city, surrounded by stunning mountains over 3 000m tall. I also had a day in the ski resort from
Bormio 3000 to Bormio 2000, which was open at that time. This gallery also includes images of mountains seen from the
mountain Cima Bianca, which is where the ski resort starts at 3 050m. Enjoy the images.








Small streets.

Gallery 3: Sweitzerland

On a cold thursday i went to Sweitzerland, with the train from Tirano to St. Moritz. Tirano was grey and rainy, while St. Moritz was snowy, but luckly not too snowy to take images. The train took us from Tirano which is situated 450m above the ocean to Ospizio, 2 350m above the ocean and down to St. Moritz, 1 780m above the ocean. This gallery contains only images from Sweitzerland.

Gallery 4: Semogo, Italian villages

When i was in Bormio i stayed to a host family in a town named Semogo, about 10km away from Bormio. From there i visited Bormio, Tirano and Livigno. Sadly i forgot to take images from Livigno, but i took some other images which might be worth a look.


Rainy Tirano, this was on my way to Sweitzerland.


Trepalle, a really small village on the mountain pass between Bormio and Livigno.


St. Carlo, a small village 5 min. north of Semogo, where i took this image.

Gallery 5: Old Milano

Spent a Sunday in Milano, took quite a few images from there as well. But ill make it two galleries, because of the large number of images. Here is images taken from most historic buildings as the cathedral, A Vittorio Emanuele II. I Milanesi, the castle and other buildings.
