The alps are a lovely place to walk. Rocky peaks, green pastures, and grazing cows. But the question often arises whether it is better to hike in Austria or Switzerland.

Leslie Jorgensen, the instructor for our Austrian Alps painting workshop, has produced a video to show folks what it will be like to paint the mountains next September.

It’s the open pastures that give you the wide vistas. It’s the cows and cow bells. It’s the near limitless shades of green.
