The glacier ski area may be smaller than others, but snow reliability is just as good as elsewhere.

The slopes extend up to 3113m and its possible to drop 1000m down to the base at Ochsenalm in one run. Most are rated blue, but there’s a couple of reds off the Karlsjochbahn lift and a long black down to base, accessed via a ski tunnel. The ski area is also renowned for its backcountry options, hire a guide and explore beyond the lift network, with particular highlights being the Weisseejoch and Nörderberg routes, each of which drop almost a vertical kilometer.

There’s no accommodation at the slopes, so stay instead at Feichten or at the small ski resort of Fendels, located a little further down the valley. Getting here takes a little over an hour from Innsbruck.

Snow Overview

Austria

Updated 17/03

Spring conditions dominate across the Austrian Alps through this week, as high pressure brings fine, dry and bright conditions across the region. Temperatures will yo-yo in a typical spring freeze-thaw pattern, the freezing line dropping to 500m overnight but rising to just shy of 2,000m in the midday sun.

Cloud and more unsettled weather brings with it some snow through this weekend, the best of which will be in the east of the country; around 15cm will fall from Saturday into Sunday, but with the oscillations of the freezing line settling around 1,500 this will mean that this snowfall will favour upper slopes. Western areas will see around 5cm.

More unsettled weather is due for the new week, although it remains too far out to fully see how much snow, when and where.
