Did you know the sky can turn green? Not an AI Generated image! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

For a green sky to occur, there must be a lot of moisture, which indicates that there is often large hail

A mighty wild place with rugged peaks and ridges, Britain's highest summit and the dramatic Steall gorge.

The Ben Nevis estate comprises 1,761 hectares (equivalent to 2,766 football pitches!) within the Ben Nevis and Glencoe National Scenic Area. The land we look after includes the summits of three Munros: Ben Nevis, Càrn Mòr Dearg and Aonach Beag.

Nevis is a popular area attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Well over 100,000 people choose to walk to the summit of the Ben, also the UK's highest point. And around 60,000 enjoy the wild and rocky route through the Steall Gorge to the stunning Steall Ban waterfall.

The Trotternish Ridge (highest summit being The Storr at 719m) was created around 60million years ago by a massive landslip. Hot volcanic lava flowed onto the weaker sedimentary Jurassic rock beneath it causing the latter to collapse and form the undulating cliff faces of the eastern coastline of Trotternish. The magnificent pinnacles and weathered basalt rock formations of The Storr dominates the Island’s north-eastern landscape and can be seen for miles by travellers heading north as well as from the mainland.

The Storr trail uses the same path there and back, starting and returning at the same point (the car park). It covers a distance of 3.8km, with the average time to complete the walk being 1 hour 15 minutes (with no stops).

Loch Ness is a freshwater lake that’s known the world over as the reputed home of the famous, dinosaur-like Loch Ness Monster, more affectionately known as Nessie.

Stretching for almost 23 miles and reaching depths of over 650 ft, Loch Ness sits south of Inverness at the heart of the Scottish Highlands, and it figures high on the itinerary of most visitors to Scotland. It’s possible to walk or cycle all the way around Loch Ness in a few days, but if you’re pressed for time, you can head out on a boat tour for some Nessie-hunting of your own.

Montafon is an alpine valley that stretches from Bludenz to Bielerhöhe in Vorarlberg, Austria. This 39-km-long valley is bounded by the impressive Verwall, Silvretta, and Rätikon mountain ranges.

For decades, Montafon has been a beloved skiing destination. In the 1920s, the great American novelist Ernest Hemingway spent winters writing, skiing, and playing cards in the valley.

While winter is the premiere season in Montafon, summer tourism is picking up each year, as insiders are discovering the region’s riveting hiking trails, lofty peak summits, charming Hütten, active dairy farms, and alpine lakes.

We love this region of Austria because it manages to exhibit a spirit of openness alongside its many deeply-rooted traditions.

When to Visit Montafon Valley: Summer (for hiking, climbing, and cycling) or Winter (for skiing). Restaurants and hotels close between the main tourist seasons.

Bad Gastein is a spa and ski town in the Hohe Tauern mountains of Salzburg. If you’re planning a ski holiday in the Gastein Valley, head to the Felsentherme thermal spa complex after a long day on the slopes.

Or, if you’re visiting in summer and experiencing bad weather, Felsentherme is a great option for those moody, rainy days in the mountains.

The thermal waters of Felsentherme are sourced from 18 hot springs. There are several indoor and outdoor pools where you can swim and soak in the mineral-rich waters.

We highly recommend spending most of your time in the sauna area. The sauna complex is for adults only and is strictly textile-free (no bathing suits allowed). Here, you can enjoy 8 different saunas and steam rooms on two different levels along with pools, showers, and relaxation rooms.

Don’t miss the saline grotto. Surrounded by alpine scenery, there’s no better place to relax and unwind.

Lünersee (1970 m) is a large alpine lake in the Austrian State of Vorarlberg.

Made extremely accessible by the Lünerseebahn, the cableway that connects Brandnertal to the lake, this alpine destination is for everyone. People of all ages come here to walk, fish, hike and climb.

Lünersee is the starting point for many hikes in the Rätikon Alps – the limestone mountain range that straddles the border between Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. In a single day, you can even cross into Switzerland.

If you’re visiting for the day, you can hike the circuit trail around the lake (2 hours, 6.1 km) and detour to Schafgafall Peak. You can also hike to Gafalljoch ridge as part of your circuit (3 hours, 8.7 km). Experienced hikers should summit Schesaplana (2964 m), the highest mountain in the Rätikon.

When you’re hungry, head to Douglasshütte for lunch. This hut is conveniently located next to the cableway station. The food is delicious and the service is outstanding.

On the other side of the lake, you can grab a snack at Lünersee Alpe. Another option is to hike up to Totalphütte, a mountain hut positioned above the lake, on the trail to Schesaplana. Their Apfelstrudel is to die for.

One of the most photographed places in Austria is the village of Hallstatt. Situated by the Lake Hallstättersee, it enjoys a beautiful mountain scenery with swans gliding across the lake - like something out of a fairytale dream... if you are able to phase out all the tourists, that is.

Unfortunately, in recent years, this little village has been getting more attention than it perhaps initially bargained for. While all visitors can happily co-exist together for a short time, it’s definitely nicer to enjoy the views with a bit more peace and quiet.

On that note, my biggest tip would be to get here early morning (between 7-9am) because most of the shops and cafes open at 10am, which means this is usually the time when the tour groups start arriving in large numbers.

The best thing about arriving early, is that you have the whole place to yourself (at sunrise) and there will be hardly anyone in your way! :D

It’s a very small, but charming, village that is quickly explored. There are lots of cafes and shops, cozy looking alpine houses and narrow alleyways to wonder around. One of the main attractions is the Salt Mines (Salzwelten) and the World Heritage View Point.

Schafberg Mountain

One of the most rewarding hikes in terms of views and atmosphere. From St. Gilgen, I walked around the lake before passing through dense forests with very steep gradients and it took about 2 hours before I passed the tree line and was able to see the lake view again.

The trail itself would be deemed Moderate Difficult. While it is quite well paved with occasional sign posts, it is also easy to get lost and veer off the wrong path - plus you might have to climb over fallen trees and scrabble up some steep sections.

I’d recommend checking your maps from time to time, just to make sure you’re still on the right track. At a certain point, you will link back up with the main trail and from there it becomes much easier, as the track is better paved and you will start to see signs of civilisation again - and people!

Hopefully, you will also spot the little Tram that takes non-hiking tourists from St. Wolfgang am Salzkammergut to the top of Schafberg - as long as you follow the rail upwards, you can’t get lost from there.

Once you get to the summit (at roughly 1700m altitude), you are rewarded with spectacular panoramic views over the Salzburg region - mountains and lakes as far as the eye can see. If you are thirsty or hungry, there are huts/restaurants there which serve traditional Austrian food - but prices are rather expensive.

To get back down, I took the same route back to St. Gilgen. It took 9 hrs in total (return) and I was exhausted by the end. I would recommend perhaps starting from St. Wolfgang am Salzkammergut instead as it’s faster.

If you are short on time, you can also take the Mountain Tram from there and reach the top in just 35mins.
