Actually this view is exactly at the border between austria and switzerland:)
Ischgl is a large but traditional Tyrolean village below one of Austria's greatest and highest ski areas, crossing the border to be linked with Samnaun since 1978, making a unique Austro-Swiss ski area.
Ninety per-cent of the ski area is above 2000m making this a particularly snowsure area with a long season, traditionally culminating in a big 'top of the mountain' concert at the end of April, which in the past has featured some big stars like Elton John, Tina Turner, Bob Dylon and Diana Ross. The concert and many other aspects of the area such as its status as a snowboarding mecca all contribute to make Ischgl one of the coolest resorts in the Alps.

Hello Teodora,

Sea of mountains creating splendid depth. I like spectacular color change brown to blue on snowy mountains and of course the cloudy sky too. Excellent, congratulations.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

Hi TEo,
a perfect panoramic view and I like all these Austrian ants :)
Well done, cheers, hugs, Chris

Buna Teo,
poza ta imi place mult, dar imi face si trist - imi aduc aminte ca in Ianuarie am avut o camera rezervata la Ischgl, dar am fost bolnav... :(((
Cel putin acum vad ce am ratat...
Te pup, Johannes

Hi Teodora,
Great landscape with mountain peaks everywhere as far as the eye reaches. I like very much the several blue hues of the view. The partly cloudy sky is beautiful too and with an enhancing light and I like to see the many people in the foreground. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

good clarity on the montains, excellent sharpness, good depth

Hi Teodora,

Wonderful and a really well composed mountain landscape. Excellent POV and very exting light and sky. This might be a picture from Austria because it is taken in Austria but what you see is Switzerland. Below and to the left of the mountain in the middle you could actually see Alp Trida Sattel where there is a large cable car lift that could take you down to Samnaun. TFS and have a nice week-end!

Cheers,

Ulf

P.S. After having checked carefully in Google Earth I have found the all the closest mountains are in Switzerland while the mountain more far away is in Austria. Furthermore it is not unlikely that you to the right have some mountains in Italy.
