skiing @ sellaronda, south tirol, IT

sellaronda, south tirol, italy - skiing one round around the sella massif ~ my best skiing experience ever! it should be a beautiful panorama tour, it was a pure fog 2/3 of the day and then came the sun rays at few places through the clouds in the sky => unbelievable beautiful scenery, my dears 🏂😀☃🍀

well, we have been visiting friends in natz, südtirol. as we have stayed almost one week here, i could go skiing to plose + sellaronda circle on the weekend and work 3 days online after that. it is really strange + unbelievable, but i've seen both, the plose massiv + the dolomiti of sella massiv & langkofel last august. do you dare to jump to the summer time dolomiti first?

sellaronda ski circle, the green direction. next time i'm gonna try the opposite +

little bit easier orange way. instead of sankt christina (s. cristina) i would start

from nearby wolkenstein (heaven & hell, how do the italians call it?). what was

wrong with s. christina? it was not easy to find the correct downhill path, so i + 1

nice german snowboarders couple rushed TWICE down the opposite valley of the

hills + landed in plan de gralba short before the cable cars closed for the day 😱

marmolada i've seen as part of the sellaronda tour. btw, the cable car

to the top was out of service today ... due to too much snow? ☃

on the road: germany + austria + italy = snow + snow + snow

germany, bavaria, close to mittenwald + the austrian border 

we have had to wait 4.5 hours at the brennerpass at the austrian border to italy due to too much snow and stood still trucks in all 3 or 4 lines. shame on the truckers! if they only blocked the 1-2 right lines, everything would be fine ... even the rescue cars and snow service trucks couldnt drive through for 10 hours or more ...

dinner in bavaria in the sonnenhof klais, short after the austrian border
