    Drive to St. Anton am Arlberg

    Jul 20–22, 2024 in Austria ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    The drive was easy because everyone goes south so we drove anti traffic. The apartment is bright and modern. Not very big, but big enough for the 3 of us for a week.
    First we did the shopping. Dieter always panics if the weekend comes and he has no food in the fridge!!!
    We had a lovely Mediterranean lunch at Café Schneider in the village. People living here complain that the tourists are missing this season. We already felt it was rather quiet. That suits us well 👌
    In the evening was an open air concert with a typical Austrian band sort of halli galli. The public was a bit subdued to start with. The more 🍺 they had the more they sang along.    Read more

    Valluga- Galzig -Lake Marien

    July 21, 2024 in Austria ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    The day started really sunny so we decided to go to the very top of Valluga on 2800 m. The view was stunning. Could have been just a bit clearer though. We needed three 🚡 to get to the top. In summer there are very few tourists whereas in winter it is packed. We wonder how they manage. The first cable cabin is big and unique. It starts like a roller coaster, which we never saw before. The second cable cabin was much smaller and the third to the very top just for the view allowed not more than 5 people 🤔. We had a small lunch at the very nice restaurant at Galzig. Then we hiked down to St. Anton via Marien lake where Dieter and Michael took a swim 🩳. We carried on walking. The hike was longer and steeper than expected and suddenly the weather turned wet and rainy and horrible just as it was all summer. We still had an hour to walk 🚶‍♀️ ☔️ .Read more

    Gampen-Kapall

    July 22, 2024 in Austria ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    The day started as it ended yesterday - with rain. We took a leisurely breakfast and started a game of "Coiffeur Jass". Around 12 a.m. it started to clear up so we walked from our really beautiful and modern Stanton Lodge to the village. We took the two Gondolas up to Gampen and then Kapall. Hardly any people around, which still feels very odd, but apparently is normal for summer. We had a small snack lunch in an older restaurant. It was ok-ish. Nothing to rave about. We then walked 🚶‍♀️ down to the Gampen station. It said 1 hr. 30. We did it in 1 hr. 10. We walked pretty slow because it was rather steep and our muscles already ached from yesterday. It definitely is steeper everywhere than it looks. At Gampen we had a Coffee with an Apple strudel at restaurant Himmeleck. A very nice and new restaurant. They seat 2000 inside and 2000 outside. What looks now very empty is in winter 2 to 3 times occupied !!! We took the chairlift down since our legs ached.Read more

    Galzig-Mutspur

    July 23, 2024 in Austria ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Again the day started with a lot of clouds. Where should we go? Every path seems very steep and not trusting the weather was not an easy decision. Initially we decided to take the Galzig 🚠. We hoped to walk "over" to the Gampen 🚠, but we soon discovered it was more difficult than what it looked and the weather looked still as if rain was on its way. We decided on the 5 km Mutspur path. It is also designed for kids with a few posts (not enough in our opinion). They are nicely done though and the kids playground half way is also very well designed with a lot of water features. All in all we find that this area is not really well equipped for kids. Switzerland has far more to offer in the mountains ⛰️.
    We had a wonderful lunch in the restaurant at Gampen Station.    Read more

    Alp rose path / Rendl

    July 24, 2024 in Austria ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    the summer one has to know that many restaurants are closed or on the mountain only are open when the 🚡 are running. There are 3 cable cabins. The Galzig, which runs every day, the Rendl, which only runs Wednesday and Thursday's and the Gampen which is closed Wednesday and Thursday's.
    Today we went up with the Rendl 🚡. We started the Alprose path hike which is about 8 km. It is circular hike and by far the nicest we have done here in St. Anton. It took us about 3 hrs. with all the stops. The start was full of Alproses. Having sad that with this lousy summer only a few were in bloom. It possibly takes an other week or so to look really nice. We took the 🚡 down again since we feel the steepness of all the hikes so far in our legs.    Read more

    Galzig - Ulmer Hut

    July 25, 2024 in Austria ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Today finally the weather was sunny 🌞 all day long. Although on Galzig it was still pretty windy and fresh, but today's hike up to the Ulmer hut kept us sweating 😓. It was not exactly a long hike. Galzig-Ulmer Hut took us 45 min. but it was extremely steep 😥. We had a lovely light lunch and walked a bit around in the area before descending on the Panoramic path. Again pretty steep. It was a successful day, but the most exhausting one too. 😓💪🥾Read more

    Verwall

    July 26, 2024 in Austria ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    Although we did the "easiest" hike of the whole week, it was the longest, but for once it went more or less straight into the Verwall Valley. It is a really nice walk to the Verwall dam lake. Dieter had a short swim in it. He said it was about 5 degrees 🥶. We walked around and decided against walking further into the Valley which is ment to be nice. We had a nice Lunch at Wagner Hütte. It was delicious. It has to be mentioned that in every single hut or restaurant the food came within a very short time of ordering. Also service was everywhere extremely friendly. Tomorrow we drive on to the Engadin in Switzerland....Read more
