What better hike for our first post-lockdown adventure than a trip up the Dopplersteig to the summit of Untersberg. A dusting of fresh snow was there to greet Chris on his first ascent of this iconic Salzburg mountain.
Although we didn't know it at the time, Chris' first time out on touring skis was to be my last tour of the season. As a self-pronounced snowboarder who'd "never summited an alpine peak", I played it safe and went up the side of the Heutal piste before continuing to the border ridgeline above. A great tour, very safe and straightforward for beginners on skis or snow shoes.
