where to go skiing in Austria at the end of the season?

Obergurgl

Obergurgl, TyrolThey open early and they close late - of course, an altitude of just under 2000 metres helps with that! Obergurgl is a non-glacier resort but it is a member of the group that are the last to close. This season they are planning to go through to April 24.

Sölden

Sölden is one of the main glacier resorts in the Tyrol and also offers summer skiing later on in the year. Sölden takes some pride in being a little bit livelier than its neighbour Obergurgl (Obergurgl residents and visitors might say "brasher") and heads towards the end of the winter with the two-day Electronic Mountain Festival from April 08-09. The final winter date is April 17 although the resort then switches into Spring season mode with reduced ski area and tickets until May 08.

Lech

Lech, VorarlbergAnother late-closing non-glacier resort where the snow depths are looking pretty good. Lech currently plans to close on April 24 and finishes up on April 23 with the Lech Mountain Trophy, a kind of alpine triathlon.

Ischgl

Ischgl usually gets a superstar "name" to round off the season - this year it is rock band Muse who will be playing at the Top Of The Mountain Concert on April 30. Before that, however, there is an Easter concert on the slopes on March 28 with popular German band Silbermond.

Stubai Valley

The Stubai glacier ski area doesn't "do" spring closing - they'll be carrying on through into the summer, snow conditions permitting on some of the highest slopes in the country.

Obertauern

Obertauern, SalzburgOver to the province of Salzburg and their own high-level non-glacier resort of Obertauern. Located at an altitude of 1750m they too are planning to stay open through to May 01.

Kaprun

The glaciers above Kaprun stay open well into the spring, given good snow conditions. The official end of the winter is April 10, but the lift passes then move into a spring period which lasts from April 11 until May 24 and finally changes into a summer mode where skiing is closed until the beginning of December.

Enjoy the selection of some of the Austrian ski resorts that we cover that are staying open later this year and take the opportunity to say goodbye to the winter properly!
