Forecast today: Light rain/snow
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 17/02
Steady snowfall continues for much of Austria, helping relieve what has so-far been an historically bad season. Main ski areas to the west will receive around 20cm of snowfall across most elevations, helped as the freezing line plummets to sea level overnight into Wednesday. Flurries will continue throughout Wednesday with plenty of cloud around, and temperatures rising as the freezing line recovers to 2,000m.
Another belt of snow will come in over Thursday bringing around a foot of snow to areas across the country – north and south of the main alpine ridge. The freezing line will hover around 1,500m meaning upper elevations will get the best of this snow, but cool mornings and evenings will result in snow reaching most elevations.
Things remain cold as the week wraps up, with the threat of sunshine becoming stronger in easterly areas. Snow however continues well into the weekend, with sunday promising excellent skiing conditions across the region.
