Austria - Sölden ( seventh day )

Under the plan the day we went to Solden (Sölden), which is located in the valley of Ötztal. Weather again, no joy. In the morning the clouds were in the valley and while traveling, was rain. The first joy - free parking in the covered parking! . The mountains are high. The highest, where you can climb 3250m. However, due to cloudy weather and could not enjoy all kinds of. But the sun is still sometimes made ​​its way from behind the clouds.
In Sölden there are three highest peaks over 3000 meters. They're called «BIG3» and each has a panoramic platform for easy inspection of adjacent areas.
By tradition, we started making their way to the highest of them. It turned out that there is a real glacier, which you can see and even touch. He was very well seen from below, r. to. Ice goes out to the surface of the glacier and even made the route that goes across a traverse. Most of all he saw him squeal Julia - a well-known expert in the Norwegian glacier.
When we climbed to the top, went deep snow, so no pan, we have not seen. But a ride in a ski tunnel! .
The snow was very thick, so it was a lot of virgin land. It is here that we were able to more or less Lehoy enjoy offpistom. Even took off for the camera. At one point, I dug into the snow nose. Then for a long time getting to otstegnuvsheysya skiing in deep snow. Dash over the snow, we went back. Just got on that track, which went through the ice. All natrogalis nafotografirovalis him and with him up to burp. At one point even found a decent hole in the ice, which could easily fit a couple of people.
In the afternoon the sun appeared longer and skating went well. In one place we went to Lehoy hoist the black line and the girls were sent to a different platform, which is raised slightly below having agreed to meet between the lifts. At the top of the milk was. In it, we began to descend, and came upon a sign mogulnoy tracks, but most tracks we have not found. I guess it made ​​specifically only when needed.
Faced with the girls, we came across a small fenced slalom track with these red and blue flags. It could drive anyone but the inscription on the launch said: ... The whole interest was the fact that (as written) in a single ruble of the Austrian special system pinpointing your time, and at the finish could see it. The girls traveled road and hid her finish with a video camera. The first was Lech. Throwing a coin, he tore the check boxes for. Just before the finish he had unfastened the ski, and so the record has not turned. The more that the machine is still not working. When I tried to throw my money, nothing happened. It was supposed to light up the green light, and burning red. However, the machine has agreed to return the money is eaten. And he returned and my Lehinu and coins! . Then I went to just. The track was rolled out and skolzkovatoy. But I still was able to hold on to the finish.
Even at the start, we met some Russian from Moscow, who was on vacation in Sölden is a two week. And he, too, skated a. It turns out not all, such as we. It turns out that there are people capable of two weeks in solitude away from the city to a remote Austrian village.
At the end of the day we wanted to put Julia on the cable car, while they themselves go down. However, we did not have the desired lift - it closed. So Julia had to go with us to the bottom. But it was not very difficult to. Only the trail is a little Thawed, and sometimes come across areas with open land. At the bottom there was no snow at all, was only a trace of artificial snow. Yes, and it has already melted. In some places, had to go literally on the water. But we went straight to the parking lot. To the surprise of Julia liked the descent. Still, after the same time and skated on water skis!.
