If you don't care about skiing. Austria is not a much news country in the world, relatively low-key. But their prime minister has often been shot in the movies (e.g., mission: impossible).
If you like skiing, you will know that Austria, a country with only 80,000 square kilometers of land, is the world's leading ski empire. It accounts for a fifth of the world's skiing, and the cable car alone earns more than 800 million euros a year.
Austria has trained a large number of world champion skier, but a deeper impression to me is: western tirol, Austria in the Alps, is a ski resort, in addition to the world's most famous and the most costly, outside the top ski resorts, ski resorts are everywhere, and cross-country ski trails between village and village; So, there are skiers everywhere, and almost everyone is a skier, and in many ski resorts, you see 3--5 year olds training together, really starting with dolls.


If the simple introduction to Austrian, online said it was a highly developed capitalist country, but I feel more like a socialist country, because 95% of the country's basic industries are state-owned enterprises. Austria is world-class in machinery, chemicals and processing, making the country super rich. But services are also a mainstay of the country, and every winter, skiers and tourists from around the world flock to the Alps. Like I asked a local man: don't you want to go around the world? He said, no. Every winter people in the world send money to me, I make money to make money, there is no need to go out!
My partner and I spent 10 days in the Austrian province of tirol, walking several snowfields and being impressed by the skiing events here. Beijing is hosting the 2022 winter Olympics, and zhangjiakou is gearing up for it. But I think, as China's economic development, to become a sports power, is not just to be on the pitch medal competition, but also to let the whole people into sports, keep children away from mobile phones and tablets, to cultivate their interest in sport.
The first step is to have enough sports ground in order for the people to be interested in sports. Like why not Chinese football, shouted "grab from baby" for decades, a few serious football stadium, Beijing has where you let the citizens, the children go to play football, didn't have a fart to kick football. Any movement is the same. Why Austria ski is so strong, the popularity of its ski slopes and equipment is amazing. Here are some of the snow fields we visited:
Kitzbiel: the world's first snowfield.

The obscure name of kitzbiel is not well known in China, but in Europe, it is the place where it is. Because this is recognized as the world's first snow field. The world's most famous ski resort has been held in the world's best ski resort for more than 78 games, and was ranked number one by a well-known professional skiing website in 2017. A local workers is Italian, and he said I am honored to come here to work, because since the childhood always hear kitts in the TV than el this name, this place is the place where I most yearned for, it is the children's dream throughout Europe.
The 120 - year - old town of kitzbier in the Alps, where snow covers 365 days, can ski at least 200 days a year. Of course, the fame here also lies in having the world's first circuit, Streif, which is considered to be an extremely difficult skiing circuit.

The town of kitzbiel is also beautiful, and shopping is famous, especially for skiing. The city is full of snowmen, snowboarders and snowboarders, and everyone has a unique spirit. A few more famous in the city, including Hillinger local wine, Rosi 's Sonnbergstuben dinner (many big stars are here to eat), the carriage around town and Schwarzsee lake tour (coachman is I mentioned the locals, he is a multimillionaire, big money, talk about him all the way travelers money, of course people good, home eight generations are the horses of tourists here, is made of, his eldest son took a Mongolian women feel good, and daughter-in-law again to find two Mongolian sister, son married two sons and three respectively, Emma). The Hotel recommends Hotel Kaiserhof.

What I remember most about the town was the churchyard, where a number of famous people, including the world famous ski champion, were buried. There is a very simple cemetery where the man who was buried is the actor brad Pitt plays in "seven years of Tibet." It was a good film, but it was essentially a film that split the country, and it became a banned film.
Swarovski town in innsbruck.
Kitzbuhel is very close to Germany, deep down in the snow field deep in tirol, and will pass through the largest city innsbruck. Innsbruck is known as swan city because it has a world-class brand: swarovski.
Although the Chinese people do not know much about the skiing city, they have a special understanding of it. Many Chinese people visit the small town of innsbruck. The town of vatons has just over 6,000 people, 5,000 of whom work at swarovski. The nationalization I mentioned earlier is an example.

The swarovski museum is still worth a visit, with various crystal displays and dazzling displays. There are also individual rooms, with strange sounds and masks, which are somehow baffling to people like me who don't know fashion. However, because there are so many Chinese tourists, there is a Chinese service here. The Chinese tourists' hobby is buying and buying, and many of the female companions have bought the crystal here, which is much cheaper than the domestic one.
If it's a visit, I would recommend it, because the crystal is very beautiful.
After you leave, you can go to the other snowfield, salden, and live in the Aqua Dome Hotel, the most modern spa resort in the Alps, where the spa is a prize, and the spa design has won a prize. Of course, like Germany, the sauna area is mixed with men and women and is naked.
The filming of solden's spectre.

Salden is one of the most beautiful snowfields in the Alps, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, each part of the ski segment. Of course, to us from the domestic novice, at the foot of the mountain to learn from the coach, after learning to master the key to the middle road. The high road continues to the top of the snowy mountains, where the scenery is so spectacular that it has attracted James Bond to take the initiative. 'we've been closed for a week in order to make this movie,' said the man at the top of the hotel. 'it's the peak season, and we're losing a lot of money.' I think the austrians are kind of funny, always asking for money. But, he added, after the film was finished, many people who did not ski also came to travel. Of course, they still make money.

During the ride up the mountain, there was a transfer, and I saw a lot of skiing from the top of the mountain to the other side. On the cable car you see the pine forests, the racetracks, and all the people who are skiing. I really admire the whole body, people's snow way too developed. And a lot of people are on the wild snow track. In this environment, it's really exciting to get involved in skiing.
At the top of 3,048 meters, you can sit in the dining room and watch the skiers from the top of the mountain. The beautiful snowy mountains of the Alps are more beautiful and intoxicating against the red and green skiers' clothes.
Five luxury villages in the albesgue region.
The arberg area is west of innsbruck and is close to tiny Liechtenstein. Alfred berg is refers to the region, rather than the name of a particular town, here's five village, respectively is: Lech, Zurs, Stuben, st. Christoph and st. Andon, we just arrived SAN Anton, met as snow, I was born in Harbin, are not seen such a big snow, on the streets of snow the marching are almost all skiers. When we are in the street, suddenly a car pulled up beside us, down the mayor was al berg region, see we are Chinese, stop and we talked for a while day, the shadow, then go, true don't have any shelf.

The area, which stretches for 300 kilometers, is the largest snowfield in Austria and is one of the must-see places for skiers. This coverage can be skiing, like when we were in such a big snow, is not convenient to drive, and cars were buried in the snow, so another village ski area is the best choice. Of course, if you're in trouble, you can take a cable car, and for the first time I've seen the cable car as a place for local commuters, where the cable car goes to every village.

Lech is considered to be the most luxurious ski village and was once named the most beautiful village in Europe. The original ecology is very good. An Austrian friend said, "don't go out. Schumacher is here. I said yes. But later on, it didn't seem to be happening here. But I really like it here, because when walking in the village, skiing often meet with people coming and going, and these are not from slide down the mountain, but cross-country skiing, from one village to another village, skiers and people say "hello" with us. I really envy them all.
The place we live in is Hotel & Chalet Montana, which is owned by a very famous Austrian ski champion, Patrick Ortlieb. The champion seems to be the fastest runner on the track, and is very famous in Austria. We asked him if the Chinese would come to live here, would you teach them to ski? The Olympic champion is very real, he said his level is too high, may not teach. Why should the austrians be so honest?
Chugh's feet trample on Germany and Austria.

The chukchi is the dividing line between Germany and Austria, with cable cars on both sides. The tallest terraces are German, with a view of the four countries: Germany, Italy, Austria and Switzerland. Zugspitze, of course, is also a ski resort, there is a beautiful ice (can enter the ice cave exploration, walked for a long time), because it is the highest peak of Germany, so also is Germany's highest ski resort.

The town of Ehrwald, at the foot of the mountain, is also pretty. But the Hotel we stayed at night was really great, and I had to stress: Hotel Post. The hotel is on a snow valley, snow valley went on a small wooden house, we go to when the white mist rises in snow valley, just in front of the whole landscape is a hazy, like a fairyland in general. When we arrived at the hotel, we all put down our luggage and went outside to take pictures. This view is the most beautiful scenery I have seen throughout the whole trip. The snow valley is so beautiful.

Europeans were the first to look down on snowboarders as disrespectful, or playful. Early snowboarders were discriminated against. But in the valley of gona, where the snow is suitable for the veneer, the locals also warmly welcome the snowboarders, gradually becoming the holy land of snowboarding in Austria. Snowboarders from many countries come here for training. Among them, we also saw the Chinese snowboarding team in the hotel.
This is the border between Austria and Italy, not only in winter skiing, but also in spring and autumn. China's snowboarding team will return to training here in the fall of 2018. Their Hotel is Hotel Kirchenwirt.
Of course, from the gana valley to the pitts valley glacier, this is the highest point in the tirol region: 3440 meters. At the top of the mountain, there is a cafe with the highest elevation, drinking coffee and looking at 50 peaks of more than 3,000 meters.
