Leslie Woit and Andy Mossack, travel writers for British national / regional papers and radio stations, travelled through Austria on search of their personal Hidden Treasure. From contemporary art and outdoor adventure to culinary delights – Leslie and Andy were quite surprised what the Austrian summer has to offer. Interested in what they discovered? We will update you with their stories over the next weeks.
But before we start with Summer in Austria, we look back to the “winter farewell” concert in Ischgl. Leslie was there and it seemed she had some fun:
“Singing up on a mountain top — it’ll be an experience like I haven’t quite had before,” the sultry Alicia Keys admitted moments before heading uphill to a height of 2320 metres to the snow-covered outdoor arena at Ischgl this May.
On a European tour, the Hell’s Kitchen NYC babe of the soul-set had only rolled into resort the night before. “Not much to see yet except a lot of drunk people in the street – but that means they’re having a really good time so that’s good.”
She got the measure of Ischgl in one. The Tirol resort famous for dancing girls, debauchery –and great skiing — was in high gear for May 1 closing weekend. Elvises and air guitars roamed the village. Jagermeister profits spiked. Gogo girls shook their booties for the final hormone-addled happy ending — and much of Holland, Belgium and Germany joined them. On top of all that, some 15,000 couldn’t wait for Alicia to hit the stage on Saturday afternoon.
“I’m not a very good skier and definitely can’t snowboard,” she admitted. “I probably have to sit in a warm spot and drink hot chocolate – that’s my position. They’ve been telling me to drink mountain water… Is it good?”
Her smooth hits like “I Keep Fallin’” and “New York” certainly were. With her trademark grand piano hauled up the mountain, she gave a sophisticated show. Skier or not, Alicia is a city girl at home in the Alps.
