A Wonderful Week in a White Winter Wonderland; Our Stay in Stockinggut…
Have you ever resided in a hotel room that offered a view so alluring that you couldn’t bring yourself to shut the curtains, (even throughout the night), so that every possible moment could be spent soaking up and breathing in such an incredible landscape? This is how we felt at the Stockinggut by Avendia in Leogang. Situated at the base of a wide, tree lined slope, the location of Stockinggut couldn’t be more perfect for both unbelievable panoramic alpine views but also for it’s fantastic ski-in and ski-out facilities. But it doesn’t stop there, no no – the exterior is magical but the interior oozes luxurious chalet chic. The perfect…

The Epitome of Alpine Luxury: Forsthofalm Holzhotel
(Jumper from Pretty Little Thing) Set in the heart of the Austrian Alps and rooted at 1050m high on the cusp of a mountain in Leogang, stands Forsthofalm Timber Hotel. The core essence of this eco-friendly hotel is focused around wood; so naturally, nestled in a forest, it perfectly harmonises with it’s surrounding landscape. Last week for a few days, I resided in Forsthofalm with my best friend and for the duration of our trip we were proudly perched on the constant soaring heights of cloud nine. This was really emphasised by the sublime surroundings that encompassed us; Forsthofalm Holzhotel oozes elegance, alpine luxury and tranquility and much of this is by…

6 Things You Should Know Before Doing a Ski Season in Chamonix…
After University I didn’t feel quite ready to get into 9-5 full time employment in the ‘real world’ so decided I quite liked the idea of doing a ski season. I’ve skied since I was six years old and after having returned from two University ski trips (which were absolutely crazy!), I wasn’t ready to let go of being in the bubble with fellow young like-minded people and partying in the mountains. So there it was – I had a direction – to the slopes I went. It wasn’t easy getting a job mind you as it is quite competitive but after applying to a good few dozen, I ended…
