Skiing in the Tyrolean alps
Firn snow in Austria
Snow is not just snow. Its consistency changes with the weather and temperature. In the spring especially, when it melts during the day and freezes at night, skiers and snowboarders will encounter the so-called Firn.
Firn arises when the snow on the surface melts and freezes again overnight. Under the right conditions, if the mountainside is in the shade, on the next day there is a non-slip layer of snow.
This type of snow is prized among many skiers and attracts many to Firn skiing in the Tyrolean mountains. In the family-friendly See ski resort, in Paznaun you will find the ideal conditions for this unique feeling.
