  Foehn wind

  1. okt. – 31. maj · normaltVindsæsonRisiko

  The glacier above the Stubai valley starts turning lifts in October, months before anything in the valleys, and it is the only skiing within reach of the city until December. Kilde ↗

  Nine areas on one pass and a cable car from the middle of town up to the Nordkette, so the skiing starts at the end of a tram line rather than a transfer. The valley resorts open in December.
