Freshtracks holiday
Check out the Ski Club’s holidays available in this resort
The network of pistes may be small, covering only 21km, but unlike many glacier ski areas, most of the runs are rated red and are steeper than in other places.
The lift system is good, with access from the valley via an underground funicular and access to the slopes by two long, modern gondolas (plus a couple of drags). Away from the slopes, there’s some incredible high-altitude ski touring available, so hire a guide and explore – the altitude here means that the early and late season conditions are usually very good. 1km down the valley from the funicular bottom station, the Rifflsee ski area (open only in the winter) offers up a good variety of slopes, including some challenging blacks.
In terms of accommodation, Mandarfen is the only real settlement in the valley and is home to a number of family-run hotels, all of which are located well within reach of the funicular to the glacier and right at the foot of the Rifflsee ski area. Off the slopes, there’s some great cross country skiing routes, in particular up by the Rifflsee, but also on the glacier and down in the valley itself.

Snow Overview
Austria
Updated 20/12
The timeline for Christmas week snow is accelerated massively as a huge, dense area of low pressure gets swept in on the Jetstream to cover much of central and northern Europe as the weekend continues. Temperatures will remain cold through this weekend, with a freezing line dropping to 500m on Sunday and, as a result temperatures of -10°C being the norm at 2,000m.
In the west of the region, things will turn slightly bonkers. Sunday snowfall falls as half-a-metre in most places and, instead of drying up as the new week begins, it will continue to fall across Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Christmas day), too. A further 45cm can be expected down on Monday and another 30cm on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Resorts further east and south may struggle to see this same snowfall, especially on Sunday and into Monday, as it struggles to make the leap over the Main Alpine Ridge. Christmas Eve snowfall, however, will remain excellent across the board, with 40cm expected in these areas.
Expect the avalanche risk to tick up to High or Very High (4 or 5) over the coming days as a result. Unfortunately avalanche.report doesn’t forecast in advance like the French do, so it is difficult to ascertain with any certainty what it might do – however current risk are being reported as persistent weak layers, which can cause ongoing difficulties with avalanche risk associated with new snow. Please check your local forecasts carefully using the links below and plan any backcountry and off piste travel carefully in the coming days.
