A good friend of the ski-concierge team recently returned from a holiday in the Italian Alps and has kindly authored the following post.
“One of the highest resorts in the alps is a rather unnattractive little resort called Cervinia. Or if you are feeling brave Breuil Cervinia to give it it’s full French Italian name. [...]
Whilst we were in St Anton recently, we took the opportunity to take the drive over to Zurs and ski the Lech and Zurs area. If you’re staying in St Anton then you have several options to get there. You can drive and park in the free car parks next to the Trittkopfbahn cable car [...]

Due to the delicious and filling meal Hotel Tirolerhof provided the previous night the day started a little then anticipated. Luckily the bus stop is 10 metres from the hotel but it took a sprint of the Usain Bolt type to catch the bus, which takes a mere 4 minutes into St Anton. [...]
