Mayrhofen

Zillertal Valley, Tyrol Region

September 1996

A trip to Austria for a mixture of hiking, summer skiing and a trip across the Italian border to Venice...

Looking down from a gondola...

White rabbits at the Edelhütte at 2238m...

It's got a mean streak a mile wide.....

It was September and the snowline was already coming down to the hiking routes...

Miche attends the local Cousin It convention...

There was a local festival with a cow parade while we were there, they weren't quite as ornate as these splendid ladies though...

The glühwein flowed well into the evening...

Miche gave me the face that told me she'd had enough würst and sauerkraut for one night...

Schlegeis stausee...

Krimml Waterfalls...

Up to the Hintertux Glacier for some summer skiing...

Into the glacier itself...

Venice

We had a day trip which passed Lake Garda or "the beautiful Lake Gaaaaaaaarrrrrddaaaaaaaaa" as the guide on the coach pronounced it each time it was mentioned and headed off to Venice...

Miche in the Piazza San Marco with Saint Mark's Basilica in the background...
