Mount Arthur, snow-version

Winter is ending, and we decide to do this hike to Mount Arthur.
It will prove to be a great idea: in the next months we'll be so busy at the cheese factory that we'll fell like in penal servitude!
A short hike, but with beautiful memories, wonderful scenarios and an amazing unexpected encounter!
