Kitzsteinhorn above Kaprun?

@sev112, I think that mountain in the background should tell you it isn’t.

Ok - is it Mont du Vallon? Far in the distance it looks like the eastern end of the Mont Blanc massif.

@frejul, Spot on, your turn. Taken last year at the EOSB.

Ah - I knew it had to be around there somewhere. But took a while to figure it out.
Ok - how about this one? I've pixelated some signs so it's not too easy - but I think it'll be pretty straightforward for anyone who has been to this spot...

Indeed that one is very easy indeed.
I have taken the chairlift down.
But I'll leave it for others to guess.

|
|
Is that the top of the Swiss Wall?
|
|

You know it makes sense.

That really was too easy! It barely lasted 5 minutes. If I get another go I'll dig out more of my summer snowless photos of obscure resorts.
Andy had it, but graciously stood aside, so I suppose EarthWindandWater - it's your turn!

Never been there but "chairlift down" got me thinking, thanks andy...

For crossword fans:
In Spooner's Too Kind, one of the highest bottoms in the eastern realm
For non-crossword fans:
VIP (very important or injured people) have been seen here since 2014, but alas no more.

Clueset 2, in ascending order of usefulness:
I had my first ski lesson here
At the time of writing, the snowHeads search shows three mentions of this resort this year, including once on this thread
It is within 50km of QRZBuddha's last poser

|
Of the first two suggestions, @musher was closer, and also the right country

I'm hopeless with cryptic crossword clues and can't even reverse engineer @EarthWindandWater's clue from the answer. While we're waiting for a new pic, can anyone help out?
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to Wikipedia - " The German name of Austria, Österreich, derives from the Old High German word Ostarrîchi 'eastern realm' "
Too Kind is almost a spoonerism for Kuhtai
Not sure about the "highest bottoms" bit - unless it's just the altitude of the base station.

@frejul, thanks. It's a peculiar art form isn't it - how difficult can you make it for someone to understand you?

@frejul, so it was possible, and meant to be cryptic. I'd have though the non-crosswrod clue was more of a giveaway, although depends if you watch(ed) Channel 4...

Is it the long red route back to Furi in Zermatt?

|

Dunno if it's the run you've mentioned, I think it goes to the bottom of the Rothorn..
Your go

Runs past a small power station at one point?! Right doing this from my phone and never posted a picture before so here goes. Might be quite and easy one.

@m_colebrook, I'm guessing Ischgl to get things going, but is there any chance of a larger photo? (can't help re. posting pictures from the phone though)
