Gartnerkofel

The Nassfeld ski resort on the border with Italy in the south of Austria usually benefits from the südstau. Extreme amounts of snow are not uncommon here and are not a problem as long as they are acceptable for the environment.

The snowless winter of 2013/14 in the northern Alps and the constant reports of Adriatic lows - with their almost unbelievable amounts of snow - drew our attention to Carinthia. And because Mother Hulda was particularly kind to us, there was another half a meter on top 48 hours before our arrival - snow depths of around 4 m awaited us at Nassfeld!
