What you need to know before your trail

Mila and her husband Ethan are on their way to her sister’s wedding at a luxurious ski resort. As they drive through the mountains, surrounded by snow covered forests, Mila feels like everything is finally going to plan.

When the car engine suddenly stops and won’t start again.

Stranded, with night closing in, they make their way on foot back to where they saw a sign for some cabins.

When they finally reach them, they find the windows boarded up and the buildings in disrepair. They have the eerie sense they shouldn’t be there.

With snow falling more heavily, they have no choice but to break into one to spend the night.

In the morning when Mila wakes, Ethan is gone

Travel Guide

Bavaria’s ski resorts

The snow and the feeling of seclusion in a ski resort might sound ideal but when you realise the snow is preventing you from escape and the seclusion is infact isolataion, then it’s not so attractive.

Of course the ski resort in the novel is fictional but the feeling of isolation and helplessness is not. The world created in this novel might just be enough for you to avoid abandoned villages and strange ski resorts in the Bavarian mountains next time you visit.
