As we are both keen on slopes, we started to elaborate a plan, to go for snow trip together.
Agreement on a destination was an easy one and as the timeslot suddenly appeared, we were ready to go. Krzysztof arrived to Vienna midday of Friday, 2nd of December. In a half an hour, we were already heading to Finkenberg (Tirol) in Zillertal.
Opening the winter season on Saturday, we enjoyed perfect weather and well prepared slopes of Zillertal3000 among few other lucky ones.
On Sunday we wanted to conquer the Hintertux iceberg, however a bit stronger wind disallowed our ambitions. Despite that, we found some great tracks also in lower part of the iceberg.
On the 3rd day we opted to return into Zillertal3000 (Mayerhofen) instead of originally planned Hochfügen. It turned out to be a lucky pick as we met one of the best woman skier in the world!!😀 Oh, yes, we saw Mikaela Schiffrin preparing for training at Unterbergalm station. 🥳 We won’t also forget the way down in the foggy afternoon, with visibility of less than 10 meters!
After that exciting day we still needed to get into Radstatd, which enables us to get to slopes and have shorter way back to Vienna on Tuesday. Although Krzysztof advised to take longer / more comfortable way through the Deutsche Ecke, I insisted to cross the Gerlos pass (1628 m). It was another memorable act for sure. Luckily, we get to Radstatd at the end.
On Tuesday we could accomplish our trip in great conditions on Schladming slopes, before returning to Vienna.
