Yes, summer 2010 was definitely great! I had a lot of time to discover the beauty of Austria. I spent many days climbing, hiking and biking around Innsbruck and some more places in the tyrolean mountains, swimming in beautiful lake Wörthersee in Carinthia and kitesurfing or windsurfing at cold mountain lake Achensee.
In July we enjoyed the great hike to the peak of Serles, one of the mountains we look at from the terrace of our appartment in Innsbruck.
Then in August it started snowing again and I was really surprised how great the conditions at the glacier in Hintertux were. So in the middle of the summer Eva Walkner and me skied some powder in the morning and enjoyed to ride in beatiful weather. It was a great feeling to be back on skies.
Meanwhile I travelled a lot to lake Garda in Italy. Just about two hours drive from Innsbruck and you get the feeling of being far away somewhere in the south. The small villages Torbole and Malcesine are well known for windsurfing, kitesurfing and for sure for climbing and mountainbiking.
After three days at Lago di Garda I almost needed a week off ;-)...I loved the time we spent there usually with good friends...kitesurfing from 6:30 to 9:30 in the morning, afterwards a great cappucino and italian breakfast, then biking or climbing and in the afternoon windsurfing... oh yes, after a day like that we earned a pizza and some italian red wine from our favourite pizzeria Al Porto!
And for sure after a great dinner we had to have an italian ice cream from the best place in Torbole and a drink at Winds Bar ;-)...life's great!
In June we met Robbie Naish in Torbole... he is absolutely a legend!
See ya next year at Lago di Garda!
