With winter approaching in many of the northern parts of the world, I thought it might be time to write about some winter destinations. I'll start by writing of a place with a spectacular view. 

One place that came to mind is the amazing DachsteinSky Walk, located in Austria. It's located near the summit of the Dachstein glacier, at approximately 2,700m above sea-level.  

The Sky Walk has been built high up on a vertical rock face, and offers a spectacular 360 degree panoramic views of the area.  You can in fact peer into both the Czech Republic, and Slovenia, from the Sky Walk.  

This is an area that has hosted world ski champi.jpgonships.  Year round alpi.jpgne skiing and snowboarding can be enjoyed at the glacier.  

The Sky Walk is in fact open year round. I am sure the view doesn't disappoint, regardless of what time of year you might be there. If you do go in the winter, be sure to dress warmly.
