A few Days in Italy in Fall 2017 Part 1

The last few days with blue sky before the Winter 2017/2018 trip. Where to go? What to do? Over the Alps where the sky is still blue and the temperature is fine – at last in the daytime! So Italy is was – a nice road trip before Asia. Here are a few pictures:

1 Night in Sankt Anton am Arlberg

We started late so we had to sleep one night in Sankt Anton since driving in the night does not make sense if you want to enjoy the landscape! We stayed at Alexandra Alber Villa Schlosskopf. We had a nice small room with private bathroom. We never saw Alexandra – her children took care of us. From the check-in to making the breakfast (which was very good) to the checkout.

The Room

Found my new Stiegl favourite

The view from the hotel

Sankt Anton am Arlberg

Towards Italy

Schloss Wiesberg – a bit before Strengen

The view towards Pians

Perfect day for driving – no traffic and blue sky

Wannenkopf and Oberer Rauenkopf

A few minutes before Rappen

On the Tiroler Straße

God's son takes some rays outside Oberlängenfeld

View from Ötztalstrasse

At Schmiedhof

On the Gurglerstraße

From the green valley to the white top

This is the Austrian side of the mountains

View from the Ötztal-Straße

Or the Timmelsjoch-Hochalpenstraße

On the way down towards Italy

If you see this picture – would you think you are still in Austria or even Europe?

Blue sky to come

The Timmelsbach – partly frozen

In Italy on the SS44bis

Over here it looks warmer

This one can go down pretty fast – and up as well

He was here with his friend in the same car – they chased each other down

After that it was silent again

We passed a big herd of Mountain Goats

They are not really scared if you act slow

The boss complained

Hello stranger

A few kilometres outside of Meran or Merano

Brescia

We arrived a few minutes before the sunset. Got a nice big room at Villa Noce a few kilometers outside of Brescia.

Our room at the Villa Noce

It comes with a mirror that is a bit to high if you want to sit at the chair

And a desk with a fridge, Tv, AC and a bathroom

The Bathroom

Nice sky – looks good for our walking tour of Brescia tomorow
