Katschberg 2022 - Part 1

Katschberg
 
Thursday - February 3rd 2022
 
Claudia and I had never been on a skiing vacation together and so this year we decided to give it a try. We chose a small ski resort near Salzburg called Katschberg and booked a lovely hotel that offered a vegan menu as well. So Thursday early morning we hit the road and drove to Katschberg. Since it snowed heavily the days before the road leading to Katschberg was quite a challenge, because the road was still icey, but we barely managed to reach our hotel. The room wasn't ready yet and so we bought or ski tickets and conquered the slopes.

Unfortunately in the morning the weather wasn't that great yet, but it was expected that the sun will come out around noon. So we decided to have an early lunch. We both got fries and a beer and once the sky cleared we got on the slopes again. In the afternoon we skied to St. Marghareten on the other side of the mountain before returning to Katschberghöhe, the small village where our hotel was located. There we stopped at an outdoor bar next to the slope, where we got a couple of drinks while enjoying the sun and watching skiers going by.

When the sun went down we headed to our hotel, called Das Katschberg, and checked in. While filling in all the documents we got offered a complimentary prosecco. Finally we were in our beautiful room and unpacked our luggage. After we showered, we relaxed until it was time for dinner. Today the ski resort offered night skiing and of course we wanted to try that. So after dinner Claudia and I got in our ski clothes again and enjoyed some rides on the slope until we got really cold and headed back to our room.

What A Beautiful Day
 
Friday - February 4th 2022
 
When we woke up the sun was already shining bright and we could expect a wonderful ski day. So right after breakfast we hit the slopes and made use of the empty pistes until the rest of the tourists started their day. Like yesterday we skied to St. Marghareten on the other side of the mountain. The weather was really fantastic with blue skies and lots of sunshine. For lunch we were able to sit outside and enjoy our fries and applestrudel in the warm sun. After our ski day ended, we stopped at the same outdoor bar like yesterday, where we got a couple of drinks before returneing to the hotel. there we enjoyed a lovely dinner.

Our Last Day
 
Saturday - February 5th 2022
 
Today was already our last day. So after breakfast we packed our stuff, got ready for another ski day and then we checked out. After we put all our luggage in the car, we were on our way to the slopes again. Unfortunately it was very windy today and not all lifts were open yet. So we stopped at a ski restaurant on top of the mountain and got a coffee until the weather got better. Like the days before we skied to St. Marghareten again, where we had dinner at another ski restaurant near the lift station. In the afternoon we skied back to Katschberghöhe and ended our ski day. Before driving back to Salzburg, we checked the very small but cute local supermarket to buy some souvenirs. On the way home we stopped at Burger King for dinner.
