Winter time and plenty of snow to start the season. Plenty of guests having a malarkey (can you have a malarkey?), time with the children checking out the new tobogan upgrades and skiing, skiing, skiing!.

Ouch, such a long break from updating the blog. Let me put it down to being busy with guests and being outside on the mountains much more than inside on the computer.

Snow, snow and more snow

Snow and more snow, after a slightly slow start to the season. The snow gods have graced us and well and truly dumped on Ellmau. Loads of photos in this months twitter updates...

As the skis get put away, the bike is quickly out on surprisingly dry trails. Time to get fit again whilst the lifts are closed for a month or so.

A look back at the goings on at Up and Downhill in March in previous years. This is a quick selection of our favourite posts, polo on snow, loads of other activities to enjoy in the Austrian alps in winter and some fun tobogganing videos.
