Ski holidays in Austria
As the £ tramples all over the € in scorching past the 1.10 mark, a plate of chips in Courchevel 1850 now only costs the equivalent of an average daily wage in the UK. The double whammy of a shocking currency and weak economy has meant a rise in shorter breaks and better value. This [...]
After a sustained cold and wet front the skies have cleared to reveal the extent of the first winter snap and it is all good. Pretty much all the region in Austria got a good dump of snow and whilst the weather is set to be milder this week in Austria the ski holiday resorts [...]

Axamer Lizum – Schlick 2000 ski link a step closer
March 24th, 2009 by mat
Following a council meeting in the Stubai village of Telfes yesterday evening, a majority of the votes are now in favour of proceeding with ski lift connection between Axamer Lizum and Schlick 2000. The combined area would eventually bring together Mutters, [...]
The hills are alive with après ski as the Skigloo, the après ski hangout located high in the mountains above Innsbruck returns to life this week after extensive remedial work over the weekend. Conceived as a place to meet up and relax after a day on the mountain, the Skigloo occupies a secret spot high [...]
The latest snow fall to hit Tirol and the Innsbruck region over the last few days has given way to warmer and clearer spring conditions but with it the avalanche risk for the region is generalised as a 4, meaning extreme risk of avalanches across the Innsbruck region.

After a light covering of snow over the weekend, the Innsbruck area and Tirol will see persistent snow right through till next weekend. Not great for the sun tan but ideal for the half term break that is approaching. Temperatures are set to fall as the week progresses with snow forecast all the way down [...]
Axamer Lizum, Innsbruck delivered some very deep snow today, especially in the trees and two days of constant snow. In the afternoon the snow got a little heavier but the depth in some areas that had not been tracked was possibly half a metre. There is snow forecast all week and into the first half [...]
So after a few very cold and very clear weeks here in Austria the skies have clouded over and heavy snow is falling across the Tirol. The snow started around 7 this morning and by 10:00 there was good powder skiing, with about 20cm of powder on offer in Axamer Lizum and very few crowds. [...]
Just back from Axamer Lizum, Innsbruck and had superb conditions, the best skiing for the last week and certainly the best piste skiing of the season so far, with groomed fresh snow and very little ice. The weather at the top of Axamer Lizum was noticeably cold and the sunny skies were welcome after a [...]
