Forecast today: Occasional snow
Much of the terrain is pretty and tree-lined, and the vast majority is rated red, making this a paradise for intermediates that love to clock up big miles each day. The lift system is very impressive and you’ll spend most of your day riding fast gondolas or high-capacity chairlifts, plus the key connection in the linked ski area – the 130-person G-Link cable car. It is also part of the wider Ski Amadé ski area, providing hundreds of kilometres of further pistes.
Wagrain itself is quite a large resort base, with the centre located around 500m away from the base of the access lifts. There is however, accommodation right between it and the base of the two main access lifts – the fantastically named Flying Mozart gondola and the two lifts heading up to Grafenberg. There’s a good selection of bars and restaurants, plus the impressive Wasserwelt Amade swimming complex in the heart of town. Wagrain is only an hour’s drive from Salzburg Airport, making it one of the best resorts in Austria for a weekend trip.

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.
