Camping Wolfgangsee

Germany & Austria 2017 - Video 9 of 17

Monday June 19, 2017. After leaving our campground in Abtenau, we head up a mountain road which takes us to an elevation of about 4,300 feet above sea level. We stopped for lunch at a ski resort before heading down the other side to our next campsite on Lake Wolfgangsee. For the next two days, we are camping right next to the lake on the edge of the town of St. Wolfgang, Austria.

Contiki experience - Ski Trip at Hopfgarten, Austria

Early last year, I went skiing with Contiki in Hopfgarten Austria for a week. I always wanted a Contiki experience ever since the days I was an undergrad.

It was part of a solo trip I made travelling to London, Salzburg and Amsterdam. It was my first time in Europe and first time experiencing winter and seeing snowfall. I'll probably get around to editing the videos from that trip. Yay procrastination lol. The video here just gives people interested in their ski tours something of a preview to the Contiki experience. (:

Sub for more vids.

Finally getting round to editing all my 360videos with the Collect360 app!

Here is a mash up from my 2nd Contiki trip escaping into the mountains!
Had to do so many edits, and got a bit of motion sickness testing out the video on Oculus but it turned out ok in the end. Best watched on a smartphone, ipad or tablet.

Hope you enjoy snowboarding with me
