I spent the weekend in the Imst valley area with my friend Armin and his girlfriend Sandra. He is designing and building avalanche control devices over there. I was originally planning to make a little hiking trip to the finding site of Oetzi the Iceman, but it turned out that snowshoeing at high altitudes is a lot harder than I thought it would be. It has also started snowing, so I’ll give it another go in April. Nevertheless we had a great time hiking up one of the local mountains and running down the ski slopes back to the valley floor. Here is an album of pictures from the trip.

The Austrian railways have a weekend ticket that lets you travel as much as you like on any given Saturday for only 11 euros. It’s a great deal, but unfortunately the offer expires at the end of March.

I’m back in Vienna now. The pit stop for next weekend is Bratislava, Slovakia.
