Tucked away in the far western corner of Austria, Gargellen is a small resort that certainly packs a punch.
It is located just over the Swiss border from the Madrisa ski area of Davos and is the next door valley from Silvretta_Montafon and as a result finds itself in one of the snowiest corners of the Alps. The local slopes are compact, covering 28km, but are very snowsure and usually very quiet. The highlights are the long descents back down to the valley and the off piste terrain, which features heavily on the piste map in the form of itinerary routes. Keen ski tourers should hire a guide and tackle the Madrisa Rundtour, the famous ski cross-border ski tour to Davos and back.
The shady village at the foot of the valley is very quiet and sleepy, providing rustic charm and a handful of tasteful, family-run hotels. These act as a great base from which to explore the ski area and it is possible to ski right back into the heart of town at the end of the day. Getting here takes a little longer than most Austrian resorts – it is around a 2 hour transfer from both Zürich and Innsbruck airports.

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.
