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 was a nice road trip before Asia. Here are a few pictures:
At the Zurs Ski Area, Lech, Austria
1 Night in Sankt Anton am Arlberg
We started late, so we had to sleep one night in Sankt Anton since driving in 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 a 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 favorite
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 slowly
The boss complained
Hello stranger
A few kilometres outside of Meran or Merano
Brescia
We arrived a few minutes before 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 too high if you want to sit in 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 tomorrow
