As winter slowly transitions into spring, the mountains enter one of the most pleasant ski seasons of the year. Clear alpine air, longer days, and carefully prepared slopes create ideal conditions for skiing in March and April in Austria. Cold nights continue to ensure stable snow conditions, while daytime temperatures remain comfortable and mild.

 

The sunny slope orientation and reduced waiting times make Ski amadé one of the best places for spring skiing in Europe. In the afternoon, the terraces of traditional mountain huts — as well as our Skylounge Wolke 7 — invite guests to unwind after a day on the slopes.

 

A spring ski holiday in Austria is all about balance. Back at the hotel, guests can relax in the 75,000 ft² Mountain Spa, featuring separate adults-only and family spa areas. While children are cared for in the Prinzenland kids’ area, parents enjoy quiet wellness moments before the whole family reunites in the waterslide park. Thanks to the direct Ski In & Ski Out location, daily schedules remain flexible and are ideal for couples and families with different needs.

Can you still ski in March in Austria?

Yes, spring skiing in the Ski amadé ski area typically starts in March and lasts depending on snow conditions until mid-April. This makes it one of the best places to ski in April in Europe, especially for travelers looking for sun, space, and reliable piste conditions. March and April are especially suitable for beginners, as softer spring snow, milder temperatures, and less crowded slopes create a relaxed and forgiving environment for learning to ski in Austria.
