Stein in Walsertal, Austria

Today, we ventured into the beautiful Walsertal, starting with a gondola ride from the charming village of Sonntag across the valley to Stein.

From there, a rather steep trail led us through lush alpine pastures and small pine forests, winding ever higher until we reached the Wandfluhhütte.

After a well-earned rest, some of us continued on to Alpe Breithorn, where we enjoyed local snacks while soaking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks. On this sunny Saturday, the trails were bustling with fellow hikers and tons of mountain bikers.

On our way back to Brand, we made a quick stop in Bludenz for some shopping before returning to the hotel for a refreshing shower. We ended the day with yet another delicious dinner at Guffer55, a perfect closure to the hiking portion of our trip.

Tomorrow, we embark on a 9-day road trip through southern Tirol, northern Italy, and back to Switzerland to reunite with Wally, Marli, and meet up with Anina and Jeremy. Adventure awaits!

Looking ahead, I wonder where we will all meet next year for a new hiking adventure.Читать далее
