Brunner Berg (Passo Brunero)

Also today for Sunday, how could it be any different... we went on a cut 🍺 on the Moritzberg 🏔️

This morning the thermometer 🌡️ showed -5°C 🥶 So we decided to drink our drinks 🍷 indoors at Monte Maurizio for once 🙃 Otherwise it didn't feel that cold. Especially when the sun 🌞 made an appearance, it almost felt like spring was coming 😁
