Morning exercises

Off the train in Pontresina, current world capital of cross-country skiing, before the 13000+ competitors for the Engadine Ski Marathon descend on the valley for the race on Sunday. Rock music blaring on the loud speakers and groups of skiers doing morning exercises before setting off on the slopes. There was a great atmosphere and it put us in the right mood for the morning's exertions. Several hours later we were back in Zuoz enjoying the traditional and hearty Barley soup!
