Rounding out our Austria trip, we spent the second main day in another valley- the Ötztal. It was very similar to the Pitztal, but one can never get enough of the Alps, so it was still wonderful and worthwhile.
Our day started oddly- basically, we took the wrong cable car. It was nice but not where we wanted to be, with no easy way to hike to our desired location. Chalking it up to error, we rode the car back down the mountain and drove on to our preferred destination, then rode a second car up all the way to the summit. This latter location was used in filming the James Bond Spectre film, and one is reminded of that constantly by the numerous signs and exhibits referencing it. The kids built a cairn, we enjoyed the views, then rode down to the middle station for a break. Then it was back to the base, and out of the valley. Another great day.
