Forecast today: Clear skies
On the edge of the village, the recently built Ubungshangbahn and a couple of draglifts serve a sunny and gentle beginner area. From here, the longer blues under the fast Hexenboden chair are ideal for progression. Intermediates will then love the vast network of linked pistes that extend right the way to Warth-Schröcken in one direction and St Anton in the other. For quiet, long descents head to Stuben and the Albona gondola.
For advanced and expert skiers and boarders, there are few better ski areas. Not only is the snow extremely plentiful in this part of the Austrian Alps, but the piste map is littered with 200km of ski routes – unprepared but marked with poles. The long routes to Zug, the runs of the back of Rufikopf and of course the world-famous trails off Valluga at St Anton are a must if you’re a competent off piste skier or snowboarder.
Zürs is a very small resort, centred around a collection of family-run hotels, a few sports shops and a handful of restaurants. There is little to do off the snow, but most hotels have excellent spa facilities and high quality on-site restaurants.
The resort is quiet in the evenings, so if you’re looking for a party scene head to St_Anton, or if you want more shopping and restaurant options then nearby Lech may be a better base for your ski holiday.
Innsbruck lies an hour and a half’s drive away to the east, whilst Zürich sits two hours to the west by car.
Connections to other major resorts in the Ski Arlberg region open and close on the same dates.

Unsettled conditions over Europe continue into the weekend, with a last hurrah before a return of fine, dry and brighter weather into the new week. Snow will fall overnight Friday into Saturday followed by considerable snowfall across the region, but especially in the south and southeast. Here a foot-and-a-half will fall over Friday night and Saturday, leading to excellent conditions throughout Sunday and the new week.
Elsewhere snowfall will follow a similar patter, albeit with more limited totals down. Around 10cm will fall over the same timeframe.
High pressure returns from Monday onwards, bringing with it plenty of sunshine. Things will be cool for many areas, as the freezing line climbs to 2,000m in the midday sun, but not much further, and drops off to around 500m overnight.
