Austria: Backcountry Skiing - Königstuhl
We still had a valid Austrian Vignette for motorways, so Nada and me invited Maja and Tadej to join us on another backcountry skiing trip. Nada chose a peak in Nock Mountains / Nockberge called Königstuhl.
 |
| We started our journey at the confluence of Krems and Feldbach near Dr. Josef Mehrlhütte. |
 |
| Flat start |
Tuši, Tadej, Maja and Nada
 |
| After a while... still flat. |
 |
| The Nock Mountains are the westernmost and highest mountain range of the Gurktal Alps in Austria, spread over parts of the federal states of Carinthia, Salzburg and Styria. |
 |
| Nada and the Krems creek valley |
Stöckli and Völkl
 |
| Dark clouds were visible on the North |
 |
| Still happy |
Still a long way to the summit
 |
| Towards the saddle |
 |
| Finally the steep part began |
 |
| Clouds covered the sky |
 |
| We waited quite long for a selfie |
 |
| We reached the saddle between Friesenhalshöhe and Königstuhl |
 |
| Soon we will reach the top of the mountain |
 |
| Last meters for Nada |
 |
| Top of Königstuhl is on the border of three federal states, Carinthia, Salzburg and Styria.. |
 |
| Nada and Tuši |
 |
| Fun on the way down |
 |
| Taking a break |
 |
| View back to the summit of Königstuhl |
 |
| Alone on the never ending white surface |
 |
| Rocket on skis |
 |
| White poison |
 |
| End of the steep part |
 |
| Following the creek all the way back to Dr. Josef Mehrlhütte. |
