‘Train vs. Plane’: one week in the region’s winter white for the ‘art-for-eye’ bloggers
Jan 22nd, 2010 by Editors
Inga and Ben from Hamburg, the winners of our blogger campaign ‘Train vs. Plane’, have arrived in Pinzgau! On 17th January the two passionate bloggers and some friends of theirs boarded the fully occupied plane heading for Salzburg airport. Upon their arrival they were awaited by Attila from the bus company Vorderegger, a Hungarian ‘who is named after the great warrior, but is actually a lot less aggressive’ who got them and some cheerful Brits to Zell am See. ‘Only a glass of beer could have improved the situation’, was one of the comments of the first blog article.
The winners of the campaign – the prize of which was a free holiday in return for blogging regularly about the experiences made in the region - publish their posts every evening after an exciting day on the slopes of the local mountains and at the inns. A special treat besides the entertaining articles are their telling photos! By now the group of friends has had plenty of opportunities to enjoy the many kilometres of deep snow, dash down the pistes on the snowboard, and order regional delicacies like cheese dumplings. Our bloggers were enthralled by the amazing feeling to conquer virgin slopes in the mornings, the friendly staff at the lift facilities, the vast sauna landscape at their hotel…
Carefree ‘powder days’ – that is what the group from Hamburg was looking forward to most. No need to worry! Pinzgau is sure to collaborate. After all, the region boasts 100 per cent of snow certainty! Now all we are still waiting for are the impressions of the bloggers who will make their journey to Zell am See-Kaprun by train. They have not announced the day of their arrival yet but we are already convinced that authentic and witty blog posts can be taken for granted.
