Where snowy peaks touch the sky

During my ski holiday last week in Kals am Großglockner, I captured a series of images that reflect the beauty of this area.

Kals lies in East Tyrol, at the foot of Austria’s highest mountain, the majestic Großglockner (3,798 m). With around 1,100 inhabitants, it remains one of the more peaceful ski destinations in the Alps.

We had some nice days with blue skies which contrast beautifullly with the white peaks of the mountains.

On the ski slopes I had some nice see-thoughs on the mountain peaks too.

From the mountain slopes, you can look down on the small village, covered in snow.

It really looks lovely in Kals, @friendlymoose, from the snowy mountain peaks to the village, also covered in snow! It must have been a lovely break.

Never been there, but its a zone (Alpes) I visited many times across other places (mostly Italy, but Swiss places too). Haven't been on the Austrian side unfortunately, yet.

Good tan?

I've visited the French and the Swiss alpes only in summer. In winter it has always been Austria.

Yes, we had some sun and I did have some lunch in the sun two times, but I'm there to go skiing, which I have done a lot, so not much tan 😀

The place is awesome and the images are stunning . Images likes this proves that AI cannot replace creative photography. I wonder if that cross on the fountain symbolizes something ?

Thanks! AI can generate great images too, but it's not the same when you have been somewhere yourself.
