4:35 am
saint moritz consists of 2 districts. and escalator takes you comfortably from xact, wheat stove, or village down to exact lead spot or spot. on the walls, you can see photos with motifs from winter sports history. international competitions take place in this with mountain town regularly. even the saint moritz lake is used in winter for a rather unusual event. a portable tournament
4:36 am
who and this lake is guaranteed to be frozen over every year so that horses can walk on it. yeah, yeah, this in december we need about a wing of minus 30 degree temperatures every night. ideally without any wind and then it freezes over nicely and it'll be covered in about a half meter to one meter of snow. the ice isn't too slippery since there snow on top of it so far. it's always been cold enough like today it's quite braces shut. your eyes are tearing up from the cold. well, if thank you very much for taking the time to day, most my pleasure. come back any time. well i noticed st more it is a pretty cold place in winter. so exercise is required. and right now i'm going cross country ski ish named it as there's the slightest look of it 1st. i'm going to take your poles away so we can start off together. turning on here in
