Skiing from Hafelekar Peak in Innsbruck, Austria


One time in my life (1968) I skied from the mountain peak shown here, Hafelekar, a peak in the Nordkette ("Northern Chain") of the Karwendel-Gebirge (Karwendel Mountain Range), just north of Innsbruck, in the Austrian province of Tirol. It was scary! Note the avalanche-preventing devices surrounding the steep and narrow Schuss. Holy Toledo!
