Hi All,

In the interest of providing facts I went on a mission yesterday to find out for one and all what is happening at the Vicky!

It seems that the maths of the deal are such that the Vicky will only be open in the winter but (currently) for the next two winter seasons for sure!

Having popped round yesterday I don’t see any huge signs of refurbishment but then it’s quite a while till the winter season starts so I will keep an eye out for further news.

On the news front, the construction of the new 4-man chair is due to start on Monday and the lumberjacks have already started clearing the trees in anticipation. It’ll be very interesting to see how the new chair affects the dynamics of the resort especially around the classically busy moments at the beginning of the week.

Perhaps I will post some photos as the development goes ahead or I may just point the webcam that way

Hamish,

Re the room direction, email the Harfenwirt, (Google Harmony hotels or Harfenwirt) and just ask. Explain that you always have stayed at the Vicki(for 6 years), but are now trying the Harfenwirt. You always went to the Vicki because of the mountain view, and is it possible to have a room with a view of the Marbachjoch.

Herbert is totally market driven, and unless he has other preferred users, may well look on this as a way of gaining a long term customer.

You have been in Summer before. What walks have you done? We have, assuming going up the mountain by gondola: -
1) Rudis, Kasealm, (Cheese making farm, Horstieg, (tiny hut with photos of deceased Wildshonauers, Anton Graffe hutte, down the Hochberg.
2) Rubeszahl, and down Tennladen
3) Rubeszahl, and down the back of the Marbachjoch to Penningdorf.
4) Postbus to Worgl, then to Hopfgarten, climb up through the woods back to Niederau.

I think the Kundl Klamm is still closed, due to a rockfall, (it hit a German lady) last summer.

Any other interesting ones?
