A week in the Zillertal valley with my parents and my daughters. My parents drove their campervan out from the UK, and we took an apartment near the campsite at Zell am Ziller. Cable cars and high pastures, a first via ferrata in the hail, rope courses and luge, and Florence's ninth birthday somewhere in the middle of it. A nice family trip to the mountains.
