Austria 2002

In 2002 I paid my second visit to the Alpbachtal area in the Austrian Tyrol as a guide for the photographer Alan Simpson. I took the opportunity to take Alan to the top of several mountains where the views were absolutely astounding.

This was the view looking back towards Alpbach from a lower  ridge on the Grosser Galtenberg.

The lower slopes around Alpbach made for some very pleasant walking.

The local tourist walking map had a very useful 3D map on the reverse which named some of the larger mountains on the horizon.

That ‘On top of the World’ feeling.

A visit to the Grossglockner, the largest mountain in Austria  is a must on any visit, but tread carefully!

A bit further up the glacier (I ignored the signs!)
