Spring winter in the mountains – the fifth season

Spring winter is the time of year when skiing is at its most enjoyable. Nighttime temperatures create firm snow for skiing during long, sunny spring days.

When is spring winter?

Spring winter usually begins in March and lasts until the end of April, depending on snow and weather conditions. Perfect for those who want to enjoy longer days and the spring sunshine in the mountains.

When spring arrives in the mountains and winter is drawing to a close, you can discover the mountains’ best-kept secret. Spring winter is not to be missed: blue skies, fresh air, and perfect conditions for sunny slope skiing.

3 signs of spring winter in the mountains

  1. The smell of BBQ fills the slopes
  2. The lift has turned into a sun lounger
  3. Proper afterski with outdoor seating

Spring winter is packed with events

During the fifth season, the mountains are filled with exciting events and closing-season festivals. Book your accommodation in time to not miss this year’s highlights!
