| January in Austria |
Fifteen minutes down the valley by bus is the village of Dorfgastein. The skiing on their mountain is a little easier and there is also a link over to the next valley at Grossarl. On a ‘Dorfgasteiner day’ we typically spend the morning in the sun on the wide pistes in Grossarl and then, after lunch, ski in the trees on the Dorfgastein side.

To get to the skiing it’s a comfortable gondola ride up to Fulseck. What a great feeling when you break through the cloud, into the sunshine, and suddenly you are surrounded by stunning views. That’s just what happened when we took our first excursion of the year.
As you would expect in Austria there are plenty of huts on the hills to get a relatively inexpensive lunch or to take a coffee break. We took our coffee break in the Jagerhutte. It is a self-service and its ‘claim to fame’ is a window through to the barn area where sheep gently snooze.
A good lunch spot is the Wengeralm which, despite the name, is rather good. GDC, being of the Gooner persuasion, insisted on going there for his refueling. He was enjojing himself but then the phone rang....
