Moonlight hike :)

When the full moon passes, a lot of seasonnaires in St.Anton tend to do a thing called the Moonlight hike from St. Christoph up to the top of the Galzig lift in St.Anton. So last Tuesday a couple of friends and I decided to give it ago before the season was over, it was possibly one of the best experiences of the whole season and something that I've wanted to do for a while.
You basically hike up piste number 8 all the way to the top and it took us about 50minutes to complete but we carried on going to the top of the Zammemoos lift so we could see over both St.Anton and St.Christoph.

Everyone ready to go in St.Christoph

St.Anton in the moonlight!

Full Moon

Exhausting and sweaty probably sums up the hike pretty well but the views on the way up are just incredible, it feels like the piste has been flood lit because of the light coming from the full moon is so bright. We were especially lucky as there wasn't a cloud in sight and the views from the top were just amazing.
Once at the top we sat with a bottle of Jager and few beers just enjoying the views before skiing down the freshly groomed pistes... Who needs first lift when you can ski on them hours after they've been pisted!

Shay celebrating!

A few of us at the top.

Definitely something to tick off the list if your doing a season out here or even if your holiday lands on a full moon week, but I would definitely recommend a lot of layers as you may sweat like a bitch on the way up but once you get there it is seriously cold! Oh and plenty of water is also advised, along with an alcoholic drink to celebrate with at the top!

Season is drawing to a close now :( so I'm trying to get loads of things like this done before I go! I'll keep you posted ciao x
