The Kaunertaler Gletscher plans to start its 2026-27 season a day later on Saturday 26 September, as is the Pitztal Glacier, home to Austria's highest lift‑served terrain. <br /> <br /> No Austrian glacier is open at present. Hintertux, which recently ended its 2025-26 season, announced earlier this year, long before the current heatwave, that it would shift from year‑round operation to a long September-July schedule so is currently closed to skiers and boarders. It is selling day passes at Euro82 from 3 October, though an earlier start has not been ruled out. <br /> <br /> Stubai, near Innsbruck, expects its autumn season to begin in early to mid‑October, tentatively around 2-3 October, subject to snowfall and weather. The Kitzsteinhorn above Kaprun is understood to be planning an autumn opening on 10 October, with Molltal likely to target a similar date based on previous years. https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/21632/163945.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/21632/163945.page Wed, 5 Aug 2026 06:14:52 GMT
