Off-piste in Austria

The High Tauern mountain range above the Austrian spa town of Bad Gastein is one of many places around the world that attract ski-touring enthusiasts, like the three skiers crossing the ridge here. Ski touring is a sport for only the most skilled athletes, as it generally involves navigating unfamiliar territory and climbing with mountaineering gear, all without removing your skis.
