Pitztal Glacier on 11.05.2025 | Powsearcher

Snow condition

Snow starts on the north side at 2300m, the glaciers are mostly still well snow-covered, but the highest snow level above 3000m has probably now been reached.

Snow quality

Considering the time of year, it probably doesn't get much better than this. In north faces over 3200m powder with a direct transition to beautiful firn on the flatter slopes. Everything that is not directly north had a lid and avalanches restricted the choice of lines on almost all slopes.

Good conditions after a cold, clear night. Due to the first wetting of steep north-facing slopes, however, there may be some large avalanches.

Overall impression

Made the most of the fresh snow and stable weather at the weekend. Unfortunately, probably the last really good days in Tirol.
