Austria - Autumn on the Schlossalm - end of 'Summer' season in Bad Hofgastein
Wrapping up in October
 |
| Life at the top of the Kleine Scharte |
With the lifts closing for the short break before the ski season starts in December we made the most of the Schlossalm. The next time we will be at the top we will be lumbered with all the ski paraphernalia and will be nervously, or excitedly, making the first turns. A walk down the mountain today is a stroll through the seasons. From a foot of snow on high to sunny pastures below. And then to the village with people sitting out at coffee shops enjoying the warm sun. Its a hard life in the Mountains in October.
