Christmas mail

San Martino, November 2025

Cari amici,

As every year, at the end of the season we feel the need to thank all our old and new friends at San Martino once again with our annual letter for the season just ended and for the moments shared at San Martino.
Biba, Paola’s faithful companion for 14 years, left us in March, but now she runs free in the company of her mother Laica among the stars, chasing the clouds.
Although the world is going through a terrible period, marked by wars, human sacrifices, genocide and much cruelty, here at San Martino we have managed, despite everything, to breathe peaceful, clean air, and we hope that you have been able to do the same, leaving behind bad thoughts and sad realities for a while.
All in all, it has been a good season. We have seen many of you again and met lots of wonderful new people. Thank you very much! We also found someone to transport luggage, so this year hikers were able to enjoy the beauty of the Maira Valley with light backpacks on their shoulders. Many thanks to Marco and his “Mairatransfer”, which handled luggage transport smoothly this year and will also be available to hikers next year.
We already have several dates and events lined up for the next season, which you can check out on our website, and there will also be two more wonderful exhibitions.

In the hope of seeing you all again soon, we wish you happy holidays and a happy 2026 filled with happiness and good health. Take care of yourselves!

With love
Paola, Elisa und Buba

Biba & Sammy
