Hi Gerald,
the orchids in your link:
the first one - I assume from Nassfeld - I would refer to as Dactylorhiza maculata. The genus of Dactylorhiza is sometimes tricky in Alpine areas but due to the distinct slope pattern on the lip it should be D. maculata.
The second one is Gymnadenia conopsea.
Best regards
Peter

Thanks for the comment & determination. The first one was taken on the alm half an hour after you left for Italy. Did you see any aspis there?

Hi Gerald,
ten kilometers south of Tarvisio we have seen two viperas, but we did not manage to take a picture...
Anyhow due to the back pattern of this specimen we are convinced they were aspis.
Kind regads
Peter

Yes, very nice pictures, also from your Austrian part of yours and Birgits Alps trip!
Thanks!
