In the homeland of Ötzi

Our second trip on our journey is Sölden in the heart of Tyrol. To get the best experience of Sölden we have called in reinforcment in form of “Ötzi der Alpman”, or as most people call him, Pierre.
Being in Sölden during the easter holiday made us do something we hadn’t done in years, standing for one hour waiting in a lift line. Could 10 000 german carving lovers be wrong? This place must be super!
The skiing in Sölden was surprisingly good considering it hadn’t snowed for more than two weeks. We found some nice runs in “untouchble powder” in the spring sun.
After working on the goggle tan for one week it is now time for Sulan to get back to work and the rest of us to meet up with some old friends in Disentis.

Sölden ist wunderbar

After an hour of scary rocky climbing we realised that we reached a dead end. Disappointed we faced the fact that we had to climb back down. Life sucks!

After some good days we had to test the aprés ski, with german techno music and big beers.
