Final day spent climbing up and over another mountain, scenery was spectacular and gave us a good last day view of the forest and valley. Stopped for a Grosi to in a hillside restaurant so that completed the food double I wanted.
Yesterday we went to Innsbrook for a few hours. The highlight in The old town was undoubtedly the magnificent cathedral. We had a wander around the Swarovski crystal shop and exhibition. I had not realised they were Innsbrook based, you can take a bus to the factory and do a tour but we were happy seeing the few special bits on display in the shop.
We were pleased we did not press on with the langlauf lessons when, on Wednesday we saw a lady tumble in front of our bar terrace and break her hip. She was on the dead flat nursery slope, if a a slope can be flat! It was impressive to see the air ambulance fly in but clearly we would rather it had not happened.
So its home tomorrow, the holiday has been good if not necessarily in the way we wanted it to be, but that seems a trend with us and walking. The resort is very quiet with little or no apres ski bars so I think SWMBO was disappointed with that but overall had a good time.
She became very philosophical when she said, try to do all the things on your bucket list before you get too old to do them! Skiing certainly falls into that category, enjoying an Alpine resort does not.
