Hike in the Oetztal Alps

"Team Alaska"
About half of the way through the course, the students and professors travelled up to the head of the valley and took a cable car into the mountains. We hiked down a small glacier, or ice patch, that is also used as a small ski field in the summer. As I watched several young racers run gates under the morning sun, I began looking forward to the coming ski season.
At the top of the cable car, there is a hotel and restaurant, and an exhibit on "Oetzi", the 5300 yr old man found in the ice about ten years ago.
We ate lunch at the mountain hut, Bellavista, ran by the owners of the Golden Rose hotel (our residence in Karthaus). The food, as usual, was delicious and plentiful. Then the more adventurous students (and professors) went on a hike along a ridge above the Hintereis Glacier and back down to the base of the cable car (~500 m descent).
