Osttirol

I've been snowboarding for 20 years. And for the past six years, I have been fascinated by deep snow skiing. I still remember the first descent in waist-deep powder - and I remember the enormous muscle ache the days after almost as well. But what remained was an addiction to the feeling of silence and solitude in untouched nature: to the adrenaline and happiness of "floating through the snow".

Ever since I heard about the merger of the two small ski resorts of Kals and Matrei at the beginning of this season, I couldn't get rid of the idea of testing this spot as soon as possible. And I have to admit: My high expectations were even exceeded!
