Forecast today: Broken clouds
most of the terrain is suited to intermediates, especially in the Rosskopf sector where the piste map is dominated by winding blues. Efficient, fast lifts make getting around very quick and easy, including across the valley via Flachauwinkl to a further area of linked slopes. More advanced skiers and riders will enjoy the World Cup piste and other routes off the Gamskogel, as well as the steeper terrain off Tauernkar. The purpose-built village is very convenient, with all accommodation being ski-in-ski-out and right at the foot of the main lifts. It is not hugely lively however, with a most evening activity limited to the hotels and there’s not a huge amount to do away from the slopes. Getting here is incredibly easy – the drive from Salzburg can take less than an hour if there’s no traffic.

A tale of two halves over Austria this week, with western and eastern regions seeing different forecasts. Western areas will see steady flurries of snowfall through the middle of this week before fine, dry and bright conditions dominate on Thursday. The freezing will steadily decline over this period, starting at 2,000m and, with a few bumps along the way, float down to 500m on the weekend.
More snowfall will then come in over higher ground as the weekend begins, with 10cm expected down over Friday night and into Saturday. Things settle down, albeit remain cold and cloudy with more snowfall threatened in the new week.
Eastern areas will be far snowier through the middle of this week, with the potential for 20cm of snow down over Wednesday and Thursday. The freezing line will be higher, however, sitting around 2,000m for this period meaning snow will be limited to upper slopes. Things then cool off as the freezing line drops to 500m but things turn drier into the weekend and new week.
