DEPORTE: Ski in the Tirol (Austria - Eastern week 2008)


Last eastern week, me and two new friends from Alicante (La vega Baja) went to The Tirol to ski. We planned our flights to meet us in Munich International airport. I was waiting my friends in the airport, while I rented the car whose it drove us to the little twon of Weens, in the heart of The Tirol (Austria), head of Piztalt valley.

This is the hotel, where we stayed. It's very comfortable and the attention of its owners was son pleasent with us. Every day, they prepare a toppic dinner of different countries asociated with the area and Spain of course.

The first day, we passed skiing in Piztalt. This resort is not too big, but his glory is having got the higher tracks in Europe. It's also possible to skii in the glacier in summer time. We did it for the day. But, such as so many people think, skiing on a glacier track is not so difficult than in other areas, like pipes, virgin snow or slopes.
The landscape of the valley can be apreciated in the next pictures:

Next day we were in Samnaum (Switzerland). This station connected with Ischgl in the side of Austria. Maybe one of the best resort to ski in Austria and Switzerland. The quality of the snow and tracks, services, attention are splendid and everything is perfect to enjoy a pleasent skiing journey. I enjoyed it a lot!!!. From Samnaum, a double floor cabine go you up to the basement of a whole land plenty of "white cream" Uuuuum!.









We had a big interest to visit the Oztalt valley, so one of the most famous resorts there is Sölden. I'm afraid my dear fellas to mention you that maybe it will be the most famous in the valley, but there were other's more attractive to see and skiing. A bad weather also influenced us to ski. Anyway I want to put a picture of the architecture in Ozt valley. The other face of these mountains connected with Piztalt valley and from the top you can admire the Dolomites in Italy.


Way to Serfaus-Fliss-Landis. Three sympathic stations whose join a big resort to ski. A marvellous sunny day followed us during the day. Black and outside tracks were our plans for this day and the next one in Hofgzeiger. The video at the beggining belongs to one of the giant-slalom I did in Landis. It's a perfect resort to spend the day. The apré-ski enviroment was cool and enjoyble.












That's all my folks. I say you bye, practising one of my favourite winter sport. I would like to give you a pair of pictures of München, where I spent a long day there.
