Spaghetti & Summits - Stab at living in the Italian Alps

Learning the ropes of mountain life in the Italian Alps — one adventure at a time.

Hi! We’re Daysi & David, a Florida-and-Czech duo learning how to live, hike, and thrive in the Italian Alps. After leaving our corporate jobs in search of a life more aligned with our passions, we’re sharing what it’s really like to start over in Trentino, Northern Italy.

Here, you’ll find entry-level hikes and climbs, Dolomites travel guides, cycling routes, rifugi recommendations, and all things alpinism — plus cozy local spots worth detouring for. We also share stories from our adventures across Italy and Europe, from stunning summits to seaside escapes.

This is us

Whether you’re planning a trip to the Dolomites, dreaming of moving abroad, or simply looking for inspiration to live a little slower and explore a little deeper — welcome to our corner of the internet, a cozy mountain retreat, if you will. :)

Check out our story to learn more about us. See what we've been up to below. And finally, get in touch with us!

Activities...

  • Kronplatz
    snowboarding · Feb 06, 2026 still sore
    First time visiting Kronplatz. Taking a million gondolas and one (1) chairlift while covering the area east to west and back. Fun day with some legit steep runs.
    Time · 05:16Distance · 56.26 kmVertical · 6,195 m
  • Cloudy Tre Cime
    snowboarding · Feb 05, 2026 still sore
    We went to Tre Cime for the views but unfortunately the towers were shy, hiding in the clouds. Good fresh snow and no crowds were a good consolation though.
    Time · 05:38Distance · 46.9 kmVertical · 5,054 m
  • Pozza to Saslong and back
    snowboarding · Jan 30, 2026
    Morning clouds gave way to bluebird skies, making for a fun, long day on fresh snow. We logged over 100 km between Pozza and the legendary Saslong World Cup run in Val Gardena.
    Time · 07:21Distance · 102.83 kmVertical · 10,546 m
  • First Splitboard Tour in 2026
    backcountry · Jan 28, 2026
    Exploring the basin between Cima Palon and Monte Cornetto in Trento's backyard on my splitboard. Rusty transitions, too much powder, and a broken Boa on my boot.
    Time · 02:58Distance · 4.9 kmElevation · 331 m
  • Pozza to Arabba on Powder Day
    snowboarding · Jan 25, 2026
    30 cm of fresh snow we couldn't pass up. Started in Pozza and found myself in Arabba at zero visibility. Fun but strenuous day.
