In summer 2023 I revisited the stunning Ötztal in the Austrian Tirol when spent a week in Obergurgl which is Austria's highest village. During the week I made use of the Ötztal visitor card which gave access to all the chairlifts, cable cars and local attractions. Then travelled south over the Alps via the Timmelsjoch pass onto Italy to visit Nago Torbole next to the northern shores of Lake Garda. While in Italy I travelled to the Dolomites for a day to revisit areas previously explored in 1996 and 2005.
