Thanks for posting this video.

I worked at the Berchtesgadener Hof hotel in the early 90's for the USAFRC. I wonder if you have anything on that hotel. The bavarian government had it torn downin 2004 or so after the army stopped using it as a recreation center.

Sorry. My wife and I went to Berchtesgaden "Learn to ski week" in 1974 but we don't even have a photo of the hotel. We had a great time. I have some photos of the ski area and people on the trip but no movies and I did not take photos of architecture.

Dumb? but is that ice rink still there?I've been to Garmish-P and walked around the area where the 1936 venues were.It was a pretty sunny day that Nov in 2001.

I lived in Berchtesgaden and taught skiing at sky-top until 1979 then I moved to a better profession. But it looks like the houselift
