Spring skiing at its finest – April and beyond

While most people are putting away their skis, a select few are heading higher. Where snow still sparkles, lifts are still running, and the slopes are gloriously empty. These are the late-season havens where winter lives, and every turn feels earned.

HINTERTUX GLACIER – SNOW, ALMOST ALL YEAR

• Season: nearly year-round, with brief summer interruptions possible
• Altitude: up to 3,250 meters
• Slopes: approx. 60 km
• Fun Fact: It's one of the few places where you might share a chairlift with a World Cup athlete during spring training.

KAPRUN – KITZSTEINHORN’S GLACIER POWER

Kaprun is where glacier skiing meets high-end infrastructure. The Kitzsteinhorn delivers reliable spring snow and next-level alpine views. This is where serious skiing continues well into June.

• Season: until early June
• Altitude: up to 3,029 meters
• Slopes: 61 km on the glacier
• Fun Fact: The “Top of Salzburg” viewing platform offers a panoramic view of the Hohe Tauern range – an unforgettable moment even without skis.

MÖLLTALER GLACIER – HIDDEN, BUT UNFORGETTABLE

Off the radar but full of character, the Mölltaler Glacier is a spring-skiing gem. Quiet, reliable, and spectacularly scenic – this is the alpine experience stripped down to its essence.

• Season: usually until early May
• Altitude: up to 3,122 meters
• Slopes: 17 km of pure glacier riding
• Fun Fact: A futuristic underground funicular whisks you to the slopes in just 8 minutes – a ride that feels like sci-fi in ski boots.

BONUS: OBERTAUERN – NO GLACIER, NO PROBLEM

Not a glacier, but every bit a spring skiing powerhouse. Thanks to its altitude and snow-rich geography, Obertauern holds onto winter long after others call it a season.

• Season: until early May
• Altitude: 1,630–2,313 meters
• Slopes: 100 km
• Fun Fact: Obertauern was the backdrop for the Beatles' movie Help! – yes, the Fab Four once shredded here.

WHY SPRING IS THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN SKIING

Sunshine. Soft snow. No crowds. Late-season skiing isn’t just a Plan B – it’s a hidden goldmine for passionate skiers who want more. Sometimes also referenced under the name "Snow Bowl" due to its shape of 360 degrees of runs and its ability to keep snow for long.
