Description
The short ride to the top of the majestic Untersberg Mountain in Salzburg, Austria, is quite an experience at any time of the year, but in winter, it's a little bit extra special. It's a slow, steep ascent and as we approached the summit, a dense fog suddenly enveloped the cable car, an eerie silence descended and just for a second I felt like I was floating among the clouds. Minutes after exiting the station at 1776m, the mist miraculously disappeared to show a breathtaking panoramic vista of the city and its surroundings so far below. A short climb a little farther up the mountain on foot revealed The Hohen Tauern Mountain region of the Alps, fairy tale like and snow capped, as far as the eye could see. Pictured here is the Hochalm Inn, perched near the tip of the Geireck peak at 1805m, it's a perfect place to warm up after a day on the slopes.
