I wonder if this is what it feels like to fly? As I coast downhill on my bike, along a stretch of road that’s as smooth as it is straight, I’m as free as a bird. There’s a vast panorama every way I turn; the long valley, carpeted in wildflower meadows and dotted with immaculate chalets and farming huts, is encased by steep evergreen mountains. My gaze is drawn ever higher to their craggy peaks with the odd lingering patch of snow.
