Forecast today: Generally clear
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 30/12
Things finally turn the corner for Austrian resorts this week after predicted snowfall stays away over the New Year period. Continuing high pressure means 2026 dawns fine, dry and bright, however more unsettled conditions and snow move in over this weekend.
Starting on Friday, steady snowfall will blanket almost all areas in Austria, with 15cm down at St Anton each on Saturday and Sunday. A freezing line staying around 1,000m means this will hit most elevations. Further south and east, this will bear the brunt of snowfall for the region and up to 2ft could be expected down on Sunday and into the new week.
Things remain cold and snow as the new week begins, with plenty more snowfall on the way.
