This year we spent our ski holiday in Serfaus in Tyrol. My entire Austrian family was there: Alessia & Chiara together with Tante Nicki and Onkel Markus and Oma & Opa.
The hotel was simply amazing with a pirate themed indoor swimming pool with big slide and water cannons. There was food pretty much all day long including ice cream crepes for breakfast (naughty Papa) and after ski child entertainment programme like Kasperltheater.
But of course the real reason to go was the skiing bit: following my first attempts last season at Christmas I progressed to take my first professional skiing lessons. It was a hard skiing day starting at 10am and finishing at 3pm with a little lunch break in the middle. After two days of practise I was on the real slope. And I was so excited to show my new skills to my parents that I skied with them when the lessons ended until the lifts closed down. Towards the end of the week we skied all the way down to the valley.
On the last day I had my first ski race. I did not win but everyone was a winner and I earned my first medal. I cannot wait to get back and I understand my parents have already booked the next ski holiday.
To round off a great week we stopped in Innsbruck before we took our flight back home. It is Papa’s place of birth and he was very proud to show me around.
