With some of the most scenic terrain in Austria, as well as some of the most extreme, this is a great area for freeriding and touring. Accommodation is mostly found in the three valley towns of Gaschurn, St Gallenkirch and Schruns, all of which are well linked to the ski area by modern gondolas.
The main attraction for more experienced snowsports enthusiasts is the lift served off piste, 27km of which is in the form of marked, but unpisted ski routes. Head to the top of the Burg draglift for R55 or to the Rinderhรผtte chair for R44. This is also one of the best resorts in Austria for ski touring and the lift system provides excellent access to numerous freeride routes.
There are three main towns to base yourself in โ Shruns, St Gallenkirch and Gaschurn. Perhaps the most convenient base is St Gallenkirch as it sits in between the two main Hochjoch and Valisera ski areas, but Shruns and Gaschurn have a better choice of bars, restaurants and accommodation.
*Weekend operation will begin in mid-November should snow conditions permit. Resort opens full-time in stages between 30 November and 25 December.

The weekend starts mild across the region, with the freezing line ticking up to 4,000m. This sits under a layer of cloud cover, which will bring with it precipitation; this will fall as snow in many areas, as the freezing line drops from this peak as low as 1,500m over the course of the weekend.
Western areas will see around 12cm of snow, with easterly and southern areas seeing perhaps a foot on Monday along, with another 10cm before and after. This will remain across higher ground, as the freezing line doesn’t dip below 2,000m during this snowy period.
Unsettled conditions continue over the course of this week, with more snow on the way in parts.
Thus concludes our snow overviews for the 2024/25 season; thank you to everyone who has tuned in, and we look forward to seeing you again next season!
