Forecast today: Occasional snow
- Max temp: 0.9 °c
- Min temp: -5.2 °c
- Last snowed: Mon 30 Mar
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 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.
