Back in January, I went to the Austrian Alps for a week to mountain ski with friends. A lot of awesome time was had as always. Skiing down some slopes is one of the best activities to do for sure. I can also confidently say that the Alps are for sure the best place to ski in Europe. There are a lot of different slopes, high mountains and no shortage of different ski resorts. This time we were in Zell Am See and nearby areas, in the Salzburg area.
Here in this post, I have some shots I took during my time there. All the photos are taken with a phone because I don't carry a real camera with me while skiing. Dont want to fall and break it in half.
We also had an absolutely amazing accommodation between the mountains and this was our view out of the dining room window.
Let's get to some amazing views I captured over the several days. We spent 5 days in total on the mountain skiing. Out of 5 days, 4 were fully sunny and beautiful. Only the first day was cloud-covered.
Me with a cross. These crosses mark a lot of the local mountain tops in the Alps.
Unlike the last time in France's Alps when our faces burned due to UV, we were smarter this time and used sun protection creams. The sunny days were absolutely gorgeous to see long distances over the landscapes.
This is taken off-trail. I went off the trail alone sometimes, the others stuck to the marked trails only.
A sunrise we had one morning. It was such a gorgeous sight.
A church, high up on a mountain.
The top of Salzburg at 3029 meters above sea level. This is the highest point we got to on our ski trip.
This is just a fraction of the photos I uploaded here but no need to over-upload. These are most of the gorgeous places we saw and the views we experienced. We also did one rest day which was not a rest day for me. I went hiking alone in the mountains and will make a post about that soon too, stay tuned!
I can't wait to ski mountains again next season!
