Massive snowfalls in Austria make ski resorts open early!
Austria’s ski resorts opened early last weekend after days of cold weather and nearly continuous snowfall. While Austria’s capital Vienna received some snow just in time for the opening of the Christmas markets, Langen at the famous Arlberg for instance recorded 112cm of fresh snow in just two days.
Well known resorts like Kitzbuehel opened six weeks earlier than planned and the earliest ever in the resort’s history by the beginning of November.
The five villages of the famous Arlberg ski resort – St. Anton, St. Christoph, Lech, Zürs and Stuben – which were temporarily even cut off from the outside world during last week due to the dump, opened their lifts on the 17th of November.
With around 150cm of snow in the villages and up to 200cm on the top slopes the ski season at the Arlberg seems to be right on its way.
With the weather now stabilizing the snow is providing a perfect and sound base for the coming ski season throughout Austria’s resorts. To find out more about the major resorts, snow levels and available packages, go to www.austria.info/au.
