pilninggas Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Well another trip to the Austrian and Italian Alps. Also a few hundred miles in the Black Forest. 2650 miles in 9 days. Hahntennjoch was stunning, an arid canyon runs upto the mountain pass. Also did Passo di Giovo, Passo Pennes, Oberjoch, Arlberg Pass, Fluxenpass, Hochtannbergpass, Lechtal Valley, went over the Kandel in the blackforest. Slipped into FL (the epitome of a tax-haven), went into Basel (rugged, industrialised Rhine city), Lorrach, Fussen (Neuswanstein castle looks cool), Innsbruck, Freiburg.I.B.

In the end i passed over where the photo was taken and went on to Nesselwang. As it turned out this was good, as it snowed heavily at altitude that night. Of course it melted by 11am. Alpine weather is a dynamic and difficult beast - the climbers must have big cahunas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triton john Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Next time anyone goes to Austria be sure to go to the Grossglockner it is awsome. I did the classic race up it in 2008 and 2010 and cant wait till the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
