What are...

those lines on the one mountain? Are those snow fences of some sort?

Re: What are...

Yes, that's exactly what they are. As particularly in the entire Arlberg area there are heaps of snow every winter and the slopes are often of great steepness, the need for such protection is very big.

Re: Lovely

Yes - but come during a sunny period! 'Cause when it rains - believe me! - it really rains! I'm referring to the weather we had the whole last week...:-(
Thanks for your compliment and your vote!
Cheers,
Eric
