Snowy Peaks,
Rushing Rivers
and Schnapps to Warm Your Soul
for The New York Times
All across the Tyrol region of Austria, Alpine farms and distilleries tempt skiers and other wintertime visitors with a strong nip of a local tradition.
When winter arrives in western Austria and the sun disappears all too quickly behind the snow-capped Alps, you can stand in bare orchards and still taste the sun-ripened fruit that the trees once bore — just sip a glass of schnapps.
