Lapland for the Polar Night, + Austria and France

The Christmas eve dinner at the hotel is just sublime.

Gifts are handed out to all of the guests, and then we are served the below menu

A live pianist and harp player perform beautiful music, and out the windows we have a beautiful snowy village. A white christmas experience to remember

Boxing day arrives and we have the best conditions the alps have experienced for the xmas-new year period in many years. Lots of fresh snow. Cracking weather. Happy travellers enjoying their winter break.






Another activity that Seefeld is particularly known for is telemark ski touring. This involves putting special grips on the base of your skis, then spending a few hours working your way up the mountain. Once you have summited, the grippy layer is peeled off and you make a very satisfying descent back to the village.

"Earn your turns" is their mantra. Here they are, almost at the top.

Excellent Seefeld photos. Such a contrast in seasons to when we were there in June 2019

Wow! The ice rink (on the right) is almost unrecognisable.
