Land of Big Sky and Snow into late Spring
Viennese Escapes: Damüls in Vorarlberg


Spring arrives late
in the mountains of Damüls

Almost mid-May, and there are still
fields of snow left on the hills of
the snowiest village in the world

Soon, though, the last remnants
of its 30 feet or so of snow
will be gone, just in time for spring
to head towards summer

  2. I like these landscapes of the wonderful Austria, and snow ! I like the church, with the....how to expain in english, (I tracuce the french expression) : "tower at the top of onion" This is very characteristic of Austria and it is very beautiful.
