For this year’s skiing vacation we did not manage to convince any of our friends, therefore we had to enjoy it on our own.
Still within a plenty of untasted resorts in Austria we decided to go for Tirol and a place called Brixen im Thale. The “SkiWelt” resort there, accessible from few other villages as well (Söll, Westendorf, Ellmanu, Scheffau), offers total of 270 piste km. With the mountains reaching “only” up to 1829m, the slopes are pretty wide, still passing by forests and in majority blue to red. So, all in all… just great, at least for a backcountry snowboarder 😃
Yes, with the accommodation, we were pretty lucky, I would say. A tiny little wooden “Hauschen” with 2 bedrooms and a modern kitchen, was more we than could have hoped for. And Miska had an interesting Farm excursion by the owner too! 😊 Maybe as a result, she then ordered us a daily fresh milk delivery, which was very tasty in deed.
During those lovely Tirolian days, when sun was shining and weather was mild we recorded an average of 27 piste km a day in 5 consecutive sessions. More than enough to be pretty wasted!
To get some well-deserved treatment, we headed to the near by “Panorama Badewelt” located in St. Johan in Tirol.
