Silvretta Silver lining

When one thinks Silvretta ski touring, a few things pop into mind. Well, at least in my mind - comfortable hutten, good food and nearly picture perfect scenery. I was happy to be able to organize a ski tour back in this relatively remote part of the Austrian Alps.

It had been quite some time since I last set foot - well ok skis in the Silvretta mountains. Something like 18 years give or take... So it was with great pleasure I met my guests for the week in Partenen and we headed up for what would be a really special few days in the peaks above the Wiesbadenerhutte.

At the start of "skin up" to the hut.

The views were average
