Today the weather has improved
in the northern alps,
and we go to Tannheimer Tal in northern Tirol,
Austria. |
The
cable car takes us to Füssener Jöchle, 1818m. |
We
are at the northern edge of the
mountains. Here are the German flatlands north of the alps, to
the left.

Today
is our resting day. But we still want to do something, and
our target is Sefenspitze 1948m.
With only about 150 altitude meters it should be a
nice and easy
tour, is our thought. We climb the snowy slope to the left in
this
picture. |
On
our way we pass Gamskopf 1890m. It's very easy to access, so
we make a short stop here. The weather is
a
bit worse for the
moment. |
Nice tour yes, but not easy!
It's steep towards the summit.
By kicking our snowshoes into the deep
snow and making stairs, we slowly climb upwards.

climbing the final part, before it gets easier again. |
Still a bit steep, but much more managable. |

The summit. |
The
weather is improving again. Here's a look into
Tannheimer Tal. |
Almost magical, when the clouds
disperse and Rote Flüh appears above
the lift station.

|
Now
we are talking! The weather is improving. |
Zooming
in Hochvogel 2593m, to the southwest. |
And we
get a nice visit, by a chamois. It can't get much better than
that!
