GLACIER SKIING - AUSTRIAN GLACIERS TOP THE WORLD
Austrians need to ski. So from October through to June the main glacier skiing areas in Austria see anything from a steady flow during the week to hordes on the weekends heading to get early season snow. The 08/09 season kicked off in great fashion with 40cm of powder snow on the 5th October! Throughout the winter the snow quality can be outstanding on the Austrian glaciers and the facilities just as good. Austrian glacier skiing is not a niche activity – these are serious ski areas with top facilities and superb snow.
