Winter on the mountain – spring in the valley

Your break between snow and sunshine

Do you know that feeling when the sun suddenly feels strong again? When the air smells of earth and wet wood? When birds sing their most beautiful songs? When the days get longer and you realise: something new is coming. That is exactly what spring in the mountains feels like here in Rauris. This gentle transition is precisely why it does you so much good.

While the snow is still sparkling on the peaks, down in the valley you can already feel the first warm rays of sunshine on your face. You take a deep breath – crisp mountain air, fresh and invigorating. And suddenly everything feels a little lighter.

When you want to breathe again

Everyday life is often full. Appointments, responsibilities, decisions. Perhaps you are constantly on the go – but rarely take time for yourself. Spring in the mountains is like an invitation to get out, get moving and take a deep breath. To simply feel yourself again. Here in the Raurisertal, everything moves a little more slowly. No big-city noise, no constant pressure. Instead: nature, open space, and that special mix of winter calm and spring awakening. Perhaps you get up in the morning, open the window and see the snow-covered peaks in the first light. That moment is yours alone.

Spring skiing in the spring sun – guaranteed snow until Easter, 100%

What many people underestimate: spring in the mountains is perfect for skiing. Especially right now.

The Rauriser Hochalmbahnen ski area is considered snow-sure until Easter. Thanks to extensive snowmaking facilities and an altitude of up to 2,175 m (summit lift), the slopes – including the valley run – are usually in good condition right through to the end of the season.

Details on snow reliability:

Snowmaking: All slopes below 1,700 m can be covered with artificial snow, ensuring reliable snow all the way down to the valley.
Altitude: The ski area reaches up to 2,175 m, meaning there are usually good natural snow conditions above the tree line.
In recent years, the average snow depth in the valley has been between 27 cm and 50 cm, with good overall snowfall totals.
