You read right: The second one!

But if you look around my blog for the first one, you might be left empty-handed.
As the same took place long before. This blog began at the end of my first apprenticeship back then.
And the week I am about to tell you all about has actually happened just like that already.

For we went on a school trip. After a better half of a year into the apprenticeship we went to South Tirol to partake in the late skiing season! Just as we did back in the day…

One difference there was though, for sure: My camera was with me and I made good use of it!

Rest stop ambiance.

 

 

After a long bus ride we finally arrived in Ahrntal and moved into the fine rooms. 5 days we then spent in mostly harsh sunlight on the slopes.
The weather was almost too nice, as snow likes to melt. You can picture it; it is not as nice underneath your skis. Nevertheless, it was a splendid blast of a time, to shed the dust from the skills with the slats.

One day I felt as good, back from the slopes, as to have myself a little walk. Come with me!

The loud chatter of these cuties might be the last thing you want to hear in your afternoon nap. 🙂

Only at the end of it I came to notice the name of this hiking track. How fitting! 😀
(Translation: Way of Reflexion)

What time is it??

Of course my camera had to go to the top of the mountain, how else would I capture all those impressions?

It pays off to look out towards the valley inside the gondola.

Even musical accompaniment was provided!

This day, we stayed in the mountains to the late hour, because of the hike at dusk.

Already before that I had noticed the appropriately brute snow grooming machinery.
They are in charge of reshaping the ridden slopes to be all smooth and hard in the next morning.
And they day’s work I wanted to capture by all means:

 

 

This is what it looks like, then… 🙂

Until the shadows had reached the terrace, we stayed outside. After dinner, we went on our way into the valley. Where in colder months you can go down hill on a sled, we hiked down on foot in the end…

 

 

And here the spectacular picture of proof:

YEEEEEAAAAAH!!

So, this trip was a striking success! From a photogenic point of view, and also from the classmateship perspective. For you get closer, when spending more time together than those few hours in school only. 🙂

You could really think about starting an apprenticeship solely for skiing trips like this. 😀 As it is worth it!
