pitztal 3440 m

what a day at tyrol's highest glacier (= gletscher) in pitztal today [pitztal = pitze / pitzbach river valley]. yep, my youngest daughter + me have been skiing on the very last day this season, tomorrow begins the summer in tyrol or at least the skiing season is over ... of course, there are still few resorts open till the end of may (zermatt in switzerland, whistler in canada, etc) and some even longer or all year, but nothing close enough to munich, you know?

well, we have had sun, fog, snowfall, sun + fog again at minus 5 degrees celsius at the glacier (there is a gletscherexpress train from sankt leonhard in the pitztal valley to the top) ... let show ya few pictures 

more pictures? fine, just visit my g+ photo album

good-bye skiing season, good-bye ...
