An impressive lift system, dominated by fast 8-seater chairlifts and modern gondolas, serves a compact network of well-groomed slopes, most of which are also covered by snow machines.
The gentle blues at Loferer Alm served by the Family Express are some of the best for learning anywhere in Austria, with great progression on to the longer blues possible. There are also some sterner challenges for more advanced skiers and riders, but this is not really a resort for experts or those looking for extensive off piste.
The village is compact and pretty, with a decent selection of small family-run hotels to choose from. The town is bypassed by the main road (it is in a tunnel) so is nice and quiet, adding to the family-friendly nature of the resort. Lofer’s location near the German border ensures a very quick 45 minutes transfer from Salzburg or the option of a 2 hour drive from Munich.

Snow Overview
Austria
Updated 24/03
After a pretty desperate season, bumper conditions finally – finally – arrive for Austria, as it experiences its first Nortstau event of the season through the middle of this week.
Unsettled conditions drifting in from the north will bring with it cold temperatures as the freezing line takes a long walk off a short pier; from a daytime high of 2,400m on Wednesday it will plummet to sea level by Friday morning.
These unsettled conditions will of course mean snow, with good snowfall hitting the Austrian Alps on Wednesday afternoon and continuing steadily until Friday morning; this will see around 45cm fall, particularly focused across higher ground as the freezing line works its way down the elevation chart steadily over this period. Around 25cm will fall on Thursday alone.
Expect the avalanche risk to increase over this period as this new snowfall sits on either wet ground, wet snow, or a spring freeze-thaw crust; plan your backcountry routes carefully, and check your local avalanche forecast before heading out.
Sun returns with gusto on Saturday, before the last few flurries of cloud and snow move in over Sunday and the new week.
