We start our today tour by walking along the bridge for a while before its start raining. Here is the famous golden roof, a classic Austrian hybrid of Gothic and Baroque,
After walking and window shopping in the old town for hours, we decide to leave for our next destination, Zell Am See.
Too bad that the highly recommended road in Austria, Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse, is still closed during this time of the year. The only Alpine Road available is Gerlos with a day ticket of Euro 7.
The scenery is beautiful as we climb higher and higher up the mountain.
The snow are all over the place so we couldn’t tell where the glacier is. With a maximum gradient of only nine percent through eight bends and a maximum height of 1,630 metres, and a length of 12 kilometres, the road offers us the panorama view. info@gerlosstrasse.at
We are prepared for snow fighting.
Zell Am See, the medieval town is situated on an lake with a mountain backdrop. Zell am See and the town of Kaprun have collaborated to develop the Europa Sports Region. We meet an England student group who comes here for skiing.

Our hostel is near the lake. So we have a superb view during dinner at the balcony; though I almost alternately eat and dance due to the cold wind. Can’t sit still though.
