• Sesong

  Foehn wind

  1. okt – 31. mai · vanligvisVindsesongRisiko

  The valley is the textbook case: a dry downslope wind that arrives warm, strips the snow off the lower slopes in a day and turns the approach into the airport into the roughest in the Alps.

• Åpning

  Stubai glacier opens

  5. okt – 30. nov · vanligvisSkisesong

  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 ↗

  28. nov – 8. des · vanligvisJul og nyttår

  In the first week of December masked Krampus groups run the streets of the villages around the city with cowbells and birch switches, ahead of St Nicholas on the sixth. Loud, physical, and not aimed at small children. Kilde ↗

  Avalanche season

  1. des – 30. apr · vanligvisStengninger

  The Tyrol bulletin runs daily all winter and a big dump shuts the side-valley roads and sometimes the Brenner for hours. Off-piste here is avalanche terrain from the top station down, not a slope apart from it. Kilde ↗

  Ski season

  5. des – 15. apr · vanligvisBestill tidlig

  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.
