PLEASE NOTE:
As I work at a school in the beautiful Stubai
Valley in the morning until 1:30 and have the pleasure to drive down to
Innsbruck in my lunch break, I might sometimes be a bit late if too many
tourists are ‘enjoying the view’ on the motorway. I’m really sorry about that!
Thanks for your understanding.
