Cross-country Langlauf in Bad Hofgastein

Gastein Valley
When the snow is good its possible to ski right up the valley, almost to Bad Gastein. It has been some days since we had fresh snow but we decided to make our way up there anyway. It was a beautiful sunny day. Where the tracks were good we could get a rhythm going.
Outside our place
Every now and then we would come to a bald patch where the soil was showing through. Slide and glide became stop and suffer. Anyway, we had a good time. Thirsty work though.




There is a nice cafe on our route but sadly Friday was their ruhetag (rest day).

Snow and thaw
