Forecast today: Mainly fair
- Max temp: 7.6 °c
- Min temp: -3.2 °c
- Last snowed: Tue 17 Mar
The base is located at a snowsure altitude of 1580m, with slopes stretching up to over 2300m
This provides reliable ski conditions throughout the winter, especially now many of the runs are supplemented by snow machines. Most of the terrain suits intermediates, with wide open blues and reds dominating the piste map, but there are some steeper sections on the Olympic Downhill course used back in 1976.For more advanced skiers, the black off the Birgitzköfel is a real challenge and there are some great off piste routes on offer, particularly if you’re prepared to hike a little or strap on a pair of skins.
In terms of accommodation, there is the Hotel Olympia at the foot of the slopes and the historic funicular railway, but options are limited and the best place to stay is down in the village of Axams or in Innsbruck itself. This makes it a great resort to visit on a day trip, combining your trip with skiing at the likes of Kühtai, Fulpmes or Seefeld.

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.
