 Poster: A snowHead
|
I have a four-day weekend at the end of next week so I decided to go skiing with my girlfriend.
Glacier area...but where? I'm leaning towards Austria...would you pick Stubai, Hintertux or Sölden? (I've never been to the latter). Sölden snow looks best and driving times from Brussels are similar.
Assuming Zermatt would be expensive...

Quote from weathertoski.co.uk. "All eight Austrian glaciers are open and in pretty good condition, with the best skiing probably in Hintertux and Kaprun. The other areas are Mölltal, Pitztal, Kaunertal, Sölden, Stubai and Dachstein. "

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Not sure if your trip coincides with Solden's WC racing - but check their website! I'm not sure about skiing restrictions viz that but one would assume there are some.
Also check the total piste distance available on the glaciers. i don't know but some of them may be quite small - an issue if there is no snow lower down.
A bit of a schlep but because Austria is relatively small and there will be no pressure on accommodation you could check out the possibility of skiing one glacier for two days, and transferring late afternoon/evening to another.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I skied Hintertux and Pitztal last weekend and would agree that checking the number of pistes open is a good idea. Pitztal is really very small compared to 'tux.
Soelden and Hintertux currently have similar amounts of piste open currently, ~30km.
Be careful if thinking about moving from one Glacier to another, the driving time from Soelden to Hintertux is ~2.5 hours.
One drawback with Soelden is that until the winter ski area is open you have to drive a long way up the hill every day from the village (or you can stay in Hochsoelden which is closer).
