Sefenspitze 1948m, Austria 7/4 2015






 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.


 Dante climbing the final part, before it gets easier again. Still a bit steep, but much more managable. Dante taking the final steps towards the summit.

 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!
