Forecast today: Light rain/snow
- Max temp: 5.4 °c
- Min temp: -0.6 °c
The Ski Optimal region is unfortunately overlooked by many British skiers,
who drive on by to visit Mayrhofen or Zell am Ziller a little further up the valley. But with a great lift system, over 85km of well groomed slopes and ambitious plans to link the resort to nearby Fügen with a big 3S gondola, Kaltenbach is a real Austrian heavyweight. The terrain is well suited to intermediates, but there’s good steeper slopes up high and scope for off piste too.
The town itself is small and well located at the foot of the two access gondolas, which provide very quick access up to the slopes in the morning. It is a small place, but a few accommodation options and a decent selection of restaurants and bars, but don’t come here expecting a huge number of options.
Getting here is easy, with quick access from Innsbruck – the drive takes less than an hour.

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.
