I had snowshoes with me but I didn't use them because the snow was packed hard where it was.

I've never experienced that before, I haven't met a single person. That's probably the advantage of the night shift when you have the day off 😁😆

...actually the plan was to head towards Bad Laterns. But since the whole of Vorarlberg was overrun by ski tourists and I was too late, I unfortunately had to reschedule 🤷‍♂️
