Probably somewhere where the beauty is normally spoilt by crowds. Machu Pichu springs to mind. Have always wanted to go, but fear it would be permanently overrun with people and nothing like the evocative images.

I mentioned this to the missus the other day in that what a great time to take photos of iconic places etc and not have the mass crowds standing in front of the camera.

Stunning, that’s paradise for me.

Which resort, was that the last day the pistes could be accessed?

My guess, one of the glaciers. Hintertux?

Good guess. It’s actually the Kitzsteinhorn and it was taken on the last afternoon before closure. Minutes later we learned that Austria was being totally locked down at midnight the next day. Quickly had to rebook flights and get back to the U.K.

It had the look of Austrian glacier skiing, with mountain top tow lifts. A brother of mine skied at Kaprun one summer’s afternoon in 1985, just for laugh ... his only attempt at skiing.

When this crisis is over, hopefully in good health, I can’t wait to get back to the Alps.
