Sadly, the resort no longer offers organised downhill skiing during the summer, due to the glacier's retreat;

no ski lifts or marked runs are provided, although the glacier remains accessible to cross-country skiers, ski tourers and visitors from the local access cable car.

Down in the valley, Ramsau provides lots of accommodation and a range of off- snow activities, both in the summer and the winter, from cross-country skiing and tobogganing in winter to walking and mountain biking in the summer.

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.
