Zug, my home for the winter
A little while ago, I got the opportunity to move to this tiny town called Zug am Arlberg. The reason I got this opportunity is because my boyfriend is working here as a chef in a hotel, so they gave him a room there where I could stay too. And be honest, who would say no tho staying in this dream destination?
When I visited Zug in summer, I loved it right away. It felt like a little farmtown, with cows roaming around in the mountains, which are completely covered in Flowers. It is not like the ordinary tourist town, like the neighboring Lech, the most famous wintersports town in Austria, and thus also the most expensive. Instead, Zug is a very small village with just a few hotels and restaurants, and no stores at all. It is great for langlaufen and walking, but it is connected with a lift to Lech by mountain lift and a bus every 20 minutes. Here you will get the best of all, at least, if you like it to stay in a peaceful place.
Is there always snow in Zug?
Yes, there is! At least from decrmber till middle april. The layer of snow here in the valley is a little bit over 50 CM ( around 2 feet) , and still growing everyday, since January is a cold month with lots of snow. On the mountain, the snow can be one meter thick! But if you dress well you will feel actually warm dyring activities like skiing, snowboarding or sledding, or when the sun is out, sometimes you can even sit in a t-shirt on the terrace, would you expect that in such a snowy place?
I went on my walk after showering, when my hair was almost dry. When I walked in the shade, my hair got frozen, but it melted right away when I walked in the sun. Welcome freezing Austria.
When you zoom in, you can pretty much see all the houses of Zug
How I shot this video all by myself
The video is made with my new Insta360 one x2, an amazing videocamera which can film 360 degrees around! It is my first time using it, and I am obsessed with it. Why did I not buy this years earlier, when I still traveled a lot! It comes with an app with many editing opportunities which I still didn't discover all, but it promises great video's without much skills needed.

Soon, I will post more pictures with this exciting camera full of new film opportunities.
