With some of the most scenic terrain in Austria, as well as some of the most extreme, this is a great area for freeriding and touring. Accommodation is mostly found in the three valley towns of Gaschurn, St Gallenkirch and Schruns, all of which are well linked to the ski area by modern gondolas.
The main attraction for more experienced snowsports enthusiasts is the lift served off piste, 27km of which is in the form of marked, but unpisted ski routes. Head to the top of the Burg draglift for R55 or to the Rinderhütte chair for R44. This is also one of the best resorts in Austria for ski touring and the lift system provides excellent access to numerous freeride routes.
There are three main towns to base yourself in – Shruns, St Gallenkirch and Gaschurn. Perhaps the most convenient base is St Gallenkirch as it sits in between the two main Hochjoch and Valisera ski areas, but Shruns and Gaschurn have a better choice of bars, restaurants and accommodation.
*Weekend operation will begin in mid-November should snow conditions permit. Resort opens full-time in stages between 30 November and 25 December.

Spring conditions continue through this week for most Austrian areas, as the freezing line remains high – around 3,000m. This will change, however, as the weekend approaches, with more unsettled conditions bringing cooler temperatures and snow to much of the region.
Western reaches will see a brief flurry of snow on Thursday, mostly across higher ground. More unsettled weather will come in through the weekend, bringing snow to all elevations as the freezing line drops off a cliff; around 20cm can be expected across higher ground.
Further east, flurries of snow arrive all week, remaining on higher elevations thanks to a higher freezing line. In a similar chain of events, snow moves in over this weekend and will reach all elevations, albeit only half a foot or so.
Unsettled conditions and snowfall remain in play throughout the new week.
