Austria - Skiing Dec 2018 - Back on the white stuff
Bad Hofgastein just got better The bear has a new home. Who's looking for Honey? We are back for a December ski trip but it was definitely not a case of 'same old'. Lunch fit for a sKING at the Baerstein A brilliant new gondola lift has been installed to get us to the top of the mountain - but that is not all. There is a wonderful re-invention of the Baerstein. Same old welcome - but a new beautiful building. A refurb at the Kleine Scharte lift station restaurant got the thumbs up from us. There was a new restaurant in town, the Aurum, very nicely fitted out by Sendlhofer, a bit too pricey for us but very nice as a special treat. Oh, and a new Weitmoserin bar in the valley lift station, very convenient for a pre-ski coffee and a well earned post ski beer. We do miss the old HaitzingAlm chair though. TW loved her ride up through the trees for a bit of virtual skiing and a coffee. Snow scene from the 'other side' in Bad Hofgaste...
