The European Chronicles 2025.5 - Inn 2 Inn & The Sherpa Ride

Krisanne Goes For A Walk And I Play Sherpa

One of Krisanne's goals for this trip was an "Inn to Inn" hike...there are many hiking trails that take you "town to town" and several of the hotels are specifically set up to support that effort.  There's a travel company, Inntravel, that has a network of participating hotels; the Inntalerhof that we're about to leave and the Kristal, which is our next destination, are two such hotels.

I'm going to be Sherpa for a day and shlep our luggage and Krisanne's riding gear from the Inntalerhof to the Kristal while Krisanne hikes.  I've got the distinctly easier job.  😂

Above the Inntalerhof is the Peace Bell, and that's the start of Krisanne's hike.

Rings every day at 5 pm.  Peace Bell Wiki

Setting off...destination Hotel Kristall...  😂

Me too...I've already delivered the packed luggage...this is the second run with Krisanne's riding gear, helmet and boots.

Rok Straps...well, they rock.  😎

Quick delivery.

I set off on my Sherpa Loop.

Relive 'Sherpa Day Loop'

A nice little loop back into Germany.  Mia gets garage parking at the Kristall.  "You are in spot number 6."

I check in...this is a beautiful hotel and Booking.com got us an upgrade.  😎

Before the gear explosion...

Two spas, and a roof top infinity pool.  More about that later...cue the Jaws music!  😓

Meanwhile, Krisanne is trucking along...

Lemonade at the hut...

Closer now...

She made it!

Dinner reward that evening...the food here is fantastic!

The panoramic sauna is behind the glass...the infinity pool is on the other side...both feel sooooo good at the end of the day!

We're here for a few days...more hiking and loop rides to come.

Ciao!
