Spring Ski Tour, Austria

Finally after 2 years we are on our way for anther Ski Tour.. this time starting at a place close to where we had abandoned the last one - Schoppernau was the next door village. A two day journey each way, making use of the free Belgium autoroutes and German autobahns.

Staying in a second floor apartment in an outlying collection of farm houses.

After 4 days in Schoppenau we would moved over to Schmirn in the Brenna valley for a further 8 days. Staying in a ground floor annex apartment

Back along much the same route apart from the exit to Germany, again taking two days. Nearly 1000 miles each way!

A fantastic trip with lots of varied conditions and different days out. We only had two days where we were had a limited palette to work with (and one of those was deemed a rest day!), starting with cloud covered days, they gradually got brighter and, after some welcome snow, turned clear and cold - all with some fantastic skiing. We got the timing of our returns (12 noon) right for this time of year which maximised the ideal skiing conditions.

We surpassed 100Km and 7500m on our tours this year, which was also at the top of our statistics.
