Mayrhofen buying hash

Ever wondered where all the Moroccan hashish comes from? What was being offered was cannabis hashish, known locally as kief. No wonder then, that there is plenty for sale wherever you go. The other thing that the city is famous for are the blue painted walls that decorate the houses, buildings and narrow lanes that wind their way up the hillside of the old town. This makes Chefchaouen easily the prettiest place that we visited anywhere in Morocco, during our 1 month in the country. Chefchaouen was founded in the 15th century as a fortress town to help in the fight against Portuguese invaders. It was later settled by Moors and Jews in the Middle Ages, before more recently coming under Spanish rule in as part of Spanish Morocco. The city was finally returned when Morocco gained independence in There is no definitive answer as to why the walls are painted blue. Theories range from the practical: that the colour keeps away mosquitos, to the spiritual: that the blue symbolizes the sky and heaven, to the rather mundane: that it was only painted blue to attract tourists. Whatever the real reason or combination of reasons , the colour goes a long way to help create a picture-perfect visitor experience and definitely singles the city out from other places in Morocco. Nowadays, its close proximity to the port of Tangier approx. A long time backpacker favourite, the city has tried to broaden its appeal and now welcomes visitors of all kinds, particularly from Spain. However, be prepared to drive along some winding, mountain roads on your approach to the city. As for us, we were staying a few days with our 3 small children, on our way back to the port at Tangier at the end of our tour of Morocco in our Classic Hymer motorhome. The winding, narrow blue lanes of the old town make for wonderfully atmospheric surroundings to explore. There are photo opportunities to be found around every corner. It is easy to spend a day or two simply wandering around and taking in all the sights and sounds. The city is laid out spreading up the hillside and generally gets more attractive the higher up the hill you get. As a downside, all these hills means that exploring the city will be difficult for anybody with reduced mobility. We found it hard enough on all the stairs with a pushchair! Something to bear in mind. Chefchaouen is a centre for local handicrafts. Colourful woven wool clothing and carpets are particular local specialities. Prices also tend to be quite favourable for the most part, when compared to some of the larger cities like Marrakesh or Fes still be prepared to haggle for a good price though. Lower down the hill you find the medina market area, that services both tourists and the local population alike. Expect to find the full range of colourful goods that you would typically find in any Moroccan market place. The further up the hill you venture, the more the style of shops changes to gift shops and informal stalls aimed more at tourists. There are so many beautiful things on offer — be sure to grab some gifts or souvenirs before you move on. The Rif Mountains around Chefchaouen make for great countryside for trekking in and exploring. There are some spectacular viewpoints that can be reached on walks that use the city as a starting point. Look out locally for details of available routes or else take a local guide along with you if unsure. One easy walk that anyone can do is up to the Spanish Mosque that overlooks the city from the opposite hillside. Interestingly, despite its name, it was never actually used as a mosque. It does make a lovely viewpoint though, and is easily reached along a well-trodden path. It is a particular favourite for people to congregate at for sunset views back over the striking blue city below — something that should not be missed. Despite its international notoriety for cannabis hashish, it should be remembered that cannabis remains illegal in Morocco. However, the strictness of enforcement of this law varies considerably around the country. It is pretty much entirely tolerated in Chefchaouen, so expect to see people smoking it in the streets and cafe terraces. If anything, we found it gave the place a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, that could rival anywhere in the World. So be warned. For anyone wanting to experience a more authentic encounter with the local cannabis industry, it is possible to arrange a visit to a kief farm. This potentially provides a fascinating insight into the production methods and history of cultivation in the area, often carried out by multi-generational family farmers who know of nothing else. Trips can be arranged with local guides from the Spanish Mosque who can walk you up into the hills for a visit. The focal point for dining centres around the lively central square. Numerous cafes and restaurants line the square, all offering similar menus of pretty average food. One that stands out as being a cut above the rest is the excellent Sofia Restaurant , serving up delicious, home-cooked Moroccan food. To service the ever-increasing tourist demand particularly in the peak summer months , the city now has over hotels on offer for visitors. For somewhere that is a bit different and allows for an escape from the city although with a handy interconnecting bus , try the relaxing rural retreat of Dar Wadada. It comes complete with beautiful rooms and mountain views aplenty. If travelling in a camper like we were , the city campsite Camping Azila is a pretty decent place to stay. It is perched right on top of a hill above the old town, so enjoys nice views and a cooling breeze. The old town is also easily accessible on foot from the campsite, though be prepared for a steep uphill climb if walking back. Whatever your reasons for visiting, Chefchaouen makes for a lovely city to experience. There may not be sufficient attractions to keep you there for an extended stay, but visiting for a few days should definitely be included in any tour of Morocco. While famous for being at the centre of the Moroccan cannabis industry, this does not alone define the city or entirely dominate the tourist experience. I went with my 3 small children and found the city to be very friendly, safe and welcoming. I never felt out of place visiting as a family. There is something for everyone. Sadly, for us, this was the last place that we visited on our 1 month tour of Morocco. Having travelled to all corners, the sights, sounds and smells of the country have left a lasting impression on us. Your email address will not be published. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

Harakiri at Mayrhofen

Mayrhofen buying hash

Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. When you register, you get our free weekly -ish snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in Username:- Password:. Or: Register to be a proper snow-head, all official-like! Prev topic :: Next topic. Poster: A snowHead. Seen it? Bottled it? Got any photos other than the ones on Google? I know it has been mentioned before on here I did do a search but it was only mentioned in connection with someone being killed on it, and also as part of wider discussions about steep pistes. I'm going to Mayrhofen at the end of January, and I'm wondering whether to attempt it or not. I've also read that once you start, there's no going back - and if you fall, you slide a VERY long way. I'm a decent intermediate with 20 years experience and do most blacks no problem, but the idea of this being hideously steep AND icy is a bit daunting! I've looked on YouTube and it doesn't look that terrifying but you don't really get an indication of steepness. I did read there's another slightly less fearsome black there too, is that worth a go? Thanks in advance. Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person. Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see? If it's icy, just straight line it. Just remember, every turn is an admission of fear. You need to Login to know who's really who. Not a challenge in good snow when I did it , but probably none too pleasant in hard conditions. As long as snow's ok I wouldn't imagine you'd have any problem at all. Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do. You can look at it from he chairlift first, and get a very good idea of the run. I have done that, but didn't attempt to ski it - by the time I might have had the chance, I was carrying a calf injury, and was not about to risk any major falls on that. It is very steep, but only for a couple of hundred yards or so, and the steep bit is all in a straight line, with a large roller to stop you if you have fallen and are sliding. You'll need to Register first of course. Did it a few years back. I was probably about a 4 or 5 week skier back then. Didnt think it was too bad. I did fall on it on one occasion but that was just a bit sloppy of me catching an edge. I did slide a very long way but it is a very wide piste and normally quiet so it is difficult to hit anything and there is no edge to go off or anything. I would tackle it now without a second thought, when i saw the thread i had to go and check my piste map for which piste it was. When i saw which one i was suprised as i really didnt think it was anything spectacular. Not as bad as the run at the top of Sierra Nevada. With your experience you should have no problem. I have some video actually from us sitting at the bar at the bottom of the run as a helicopter comes in to pick someone up. There was a piste basher parked at the large flat area at the base and we thought at the time that someone had hit it but on reflection they had probably brought the casualty to that point in the piste basher. Then you can post your own questions or snow reports One of the biggest risks on the Harakiri are the other people who want to ski it because its 'the steepest piste in Austria' who really shouldn't be there. It is a north facing slope, always in the shade. It has lot of man made snow blown onto the steepest section to give it a good base. It is often hard packed and, for want of a better word, icy. I hesitate to say icy, as it is usually grippy and if you have good edges and know how to use them it's a breeze. However, there are plenty of people who try and ski it with edging skills in need of some improvement, resulting in lots of people out of control. If you fall at the steepest point there is a slight double fall line that pulls you down to underneath the chairlift and, although, the piste seems to be really wide and a long way from the steepest section to the piste markers under the chairlift, I've sometimes seen people stop their fall against the piste markers. Look at it from the chairlift, see how the snow looks, see how other people are skiing it and then decide. You can get to the bottom flat section of it by skiing down Black 4 and turning left along a road, so if you're not sure after looking from the chairlift it might be worth at it from the bottom too. After all it is free. Is it steeper than Diamant Noir at Flaine? I remember the top pitch of that being very steep for a piste. You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net. Cheers all, I reckon it'll be fine. I've probably skiied stuff just as steep in France I'm sure the top of the Aiguille Rouge at Les Arcs was pretty steep , it's just the marketing of Harakiri! I suspect the secret is to commit to it - and don't stop hehe. I'll let you know if I do brave it. Ski the Net with snowHeads. I'm there 23rd - 30th! And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports. It's easy in good conditions, and fairly easy in icy conditions as well as long as you time your run to make sure you're not too close to the muppets cartwheeling down it out of control. Good edges and confidence are the key factors - this is not an ideal run for someone's first black, but if you've done the one facing it which comes straight down Gerent piste 14 , you'll wonder what all of the fuss is about, as the Gerent run is much longer 4 or 5 times the length , almost as steep in the bottom section, and lightly mogulled most of the time. It runs from the top to the floor of the valley. So if you're just off somewhere snowy come back and post a snow report of your own and we'll all love you very much. Hum, bet that's a leg-burner! Looks very steep at the bottom too, after it turns the corner. You know it makes sense. Short and sweet and as long as it is not sheet ice it is easy to ski! Just be mindfull of the blue run that cits across the bottom and muppets falling from above. Black 14 is much more challaging and rewarding as it some of the off piste under the big lift to the right of the hari. Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:. Is that the run from the Schneekar Hutte? Ghost Dog , yes, from the top of Gerent all the way back to the bottom of the Schneekar lift. At the top, there's a smart restaurant and cafe with a large bronze eagle on the roof. Red 7 runs from the same start point to the same end point, and is one of my favourite runs as it goes on for ever, and is great fun once it gets into the trees. Above the treeline, it is an autobahn - lots of speeding people, but light traffic around the occasional fat trucker OK, so I did it First off, we did piste 17, which is the one mentioned above it's not It's a long black, but not that testing. It goes very steep at the bottom which involves a bit of a leap of faith, but really it was no trouble at all. So later in the day it was onto Harakiri. To be honest, I wasn't really in the frame of mind to do it. My legs were already getting tired, and the signs at the top really are quite intimidating. However my mate egged me on, so I went for it. Once you're committed, there's no going back. If you fall, you slide a VERY long way, but the biggest danger is from being hit by someone falling above you. We saw this happen a couple of times, and there's the potential for a nasty injury. What I will say is, only do this run if you have no confidence problems whatsoever. Any confident and, more importantly, competent skier will get down this without too much trouble. It wasn't especially icy. I'm a very experienced and pretty technically good skier. However I still have some confidence issues after having a panic attack on a steep slope many years ago. I'm a lot better now, but unfortunately I lost my nerve a bit at the top of Harakiri and made a hash of it! Sidestepped down the first bit.. Didn't slide down, but had to get up and push backwards back onto the piste. Got going again, did about 3 turns before picking up too much speed. Turned up the mountain to try and get back under control but there wasn't enough room before I reached the edge of the piste, and my ski pinged off. It SHOT down the slope, followed by me hehe! Slid down trying to slow myself with my other ski, so I didn't slide that fast, and ended up at the bottom covered in snow So I'd like to say I cruised down it like a pro, but sadly it wasn't the case. The whole experience wasn't that scary once I'd got past the top bit! I really have the ability to ski it, it was just my nerve which let me down. Ah well.

Like the guy entering stage rear at in this clip??? I did the Harakiri run two weeks ago in Mayrhofen. Conditions were OK, certainly not icy. While the run is steep, i didn't find it very hard or extreme. It was a bit icy, but I managed to ski from the top station of the Schneekar lift to the bottom station in one go. Very rewarding, but my legs burned like hell at the the end of the run. New Topic Post Reply. Snow Snow Snow!
