Spring skiing in Austria's highest ski resort

Spring is here, and while in many regions the flowers are blooming and the birds are singing, there are places where the winter magic is still in full swing. One of these places is Kühtai in Austria, a ski resort that offers skiers a unique experience even in spring.

A morning start in Innsbruck

The day begins in Innsbruck, a city surrounded by majestic mountains. After a hearty breakfast, which includes fresh fruit and a hot cappuccino, we head towards Kühtai. The drive there offers breathtaking views, especially of the River Inn and the colorful houses that rise picturesquely in front of the impressive Nordkette.

The winter wonderland of Kühtai

After a short drive you reach the Kühtai, which is at an altitude of over 2,000 meters. Although there are already spring-like temperatures in the valley, it is still cold as winter up here. The snow covers the landscape and offers perfect conditions for skiers. The gondolas take visitors up into the snow-capped mountains, where they are greeted by bright sunshine and immaculate slopes.

The joys of skiing

The feeling of gliding through the fresh snow is incomparable. The slopes in Kühtai are diverse and offer challenges for both beginners and experienced skiers. The view from the slopes is particularly impressive, offering a wide view over the ski area and as far as the Ötztal Alps.

New developments in the ski area

The Kühtai is constantly on the move and always offers its visitors new attractions. One of the newest additions is the Gaiskogelbahn, a modern cable car with heated seats that takes skiers up the mountain in comfort. From there you can whiz down one of the steepest runs in the Alps.

Back in Innsbruck

After an eventful day of skiing, we head back to Innsbruck. The city offers a perfect combination of culture and relaxation. A walk through the old town, past the famous Golden Roof, followed by a refreshing drink on the banks of the Inn, rounds off the day perfectly.

Conclusion

The Kühtai in Austria offers an unforgettable skiing experience even in spring. Combined with a visit to Innsbruck, it becomes a perfect short break for anyone who loves both city life and the joys of winter sports.
