Firn-Week Ski Holiday Offers in Austria
Firn is snow that is at least a year old. 4 m of fresh snow contains about half a metre of firn. This old snow, made up of fine snow crystals, forms through alternating thaw and frost. Even less experienced skiers can glide easily over firn.
Firn weeks with ski offers
Plenty of sunshine and spring temperatures on the slopes draw skiers in. Some are already swapping their winter scarves for sunscreen and a spot of sunbathing. From around the end of March, firn weeks bring tempting ski holiday offers. For example, the “Wine and Firn Weeks” in Lech-Zürs on the Arlberg run from 24 March to 14 April. After an active day on the sunny slopes, you can sample fine wines in the evening.

St. Anton invites you to its firn weeks
St. Anton also invites visitors to firn-week offers on the Arlberg—from 29 March to 14 April. You can glide over the firn almost effortlessly. Beginners, too, can enjoy their ski holiday this way, helped by the much warmer rays of sunshine. But the firn freezes during the cold nights, leaving the slopes smooth in the morning.
