which in recent years has seen impressive levels of investment, both in swish new lifts and snow machines. This means that the queue and snow reliability problems of old are mostly now in the past, but do be prepared to ski on artificial snow early in the season, or during warm spells.
Brixen is ideally located to get straight into the heart of the SkiWelt, with a gondola and a chair whisking your right to Zinsberg, from which you can reach all corners of the ski area. Head the other way and the local slopes above Westendorf are a gondola ride away – these are often quieter than the main slopes of the area so are a good bet on a busy weekend day.
The village itself is rather spread out, but it well connected to the lifts via an efficient ski bus system and there’s a great range of family-friendly accommodation. The town is generally quiet, but if you’re after après ski, the lively town of Westendorf is a short bus or taxi ride away.

Updated 22/01
Austria sees some good and much-needed snowfall over the course of this weekend and into the new week. Temperatures remain cold throughout, as the freezing line hovers around 1,500m across the region, occassionally spiking to just above 2,000m. A few flurries of snowfall over the weekend will be matched with a few threats of sunshine, before the taps turn on into the new week.
Eastern and Southeastern areas will see around a foot of snowfall over Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, focused on Saturday when most of this will fall. Western areas will see much needed consistent snowfall, with just over a foot expected down in consistent waves from Sunday until Tuesday, with more snowfall expected later in the week.
