Salzburg

The good news first: there's enough for an alert until Sunday. But it will be very warm after the snowfall and the limit will also rise during the snowfall, so you'll have to get up high on Sunday if you want to find powder in the northern Alps.

As happy as you are to have beer, you just don't enjoy stale beer. It's the same with this alarm. It may be snowing, but it quickly gets so warm that you can't enjoy it.

The tour to the Kammerlinghorn not only offers a sunny ascent and a racy northern descent, but is also a great panoramic mountain between Bavaria and Salzburg.

When it comes to freeriding in the Salzburger Sportwelt, many riders focus on the highest resort of Zauchensee. However, the ski area that connects Flachau with its neighboring villages of Wagrain and St. Johann im Pongau is also home to a variety of interesting smaller spots, for which you generally don't even have to make any climbs worth mentioning.

A beautiful firn classic through an imposing wall. An undertaking not to be underestimated with an approach that is not easy to find. However, you will be rewarded with a sunrise and a wonderful descent with magnificent views of the distance and depths.

It has already started today, the northern congestion. Unfortunately for everyone west of the Kitzbühel Alps, there won't be much of it until Tuesday. All of Ullr's disciples who looked enviously to the west from the Salzkammergut and further east last week can now rejoice: because here there is northern congestion with amounts worthy of northern congestion. Nothing is coming in the south and west.

In the Lattengebirge mountains, just a 20-minute drive from Salzburg, there are three steep gullies that could not be more beautiful. Rarely hiked, but very worthwhile, the Alpgartenrinne catches the eye even from Salzburg!

Every winter sports enthusiast who ventures into open terrain is faced with the decision to ski or ski down slopes that harbor an avalanche risk. As assessing the avalanche risk is a very complex matter, there are a number of different methods that are designed to do just that: Two experts and "their" methods will be presented at the avalanche colloquium in Salzburg on 15.01.2014.

After the last congestion has passed and the coreshots are being repaired, Ullr comes up with the idea of giving our rather dry northerly flow a bit more pep than the models have seen in the last few days and creates a small active boundary disturbance that brings us powder. So this much less sad alert comes as quite a surprise. Less sad because we have a base. At least below the tree line.

Anyone traveling to a tourist region in Austria for biking can hardly avoid Saalbach-Hinterglemm. The valley in Salzburg has been a fixture on the Alpine bike scene for years. We took a look to see whether the Bike Circus Saalbach Hinterglemm still lives up to its good reputation.

When people talk about single trails in touristy bike regions in Austria, one name always comes up: the "Hacklbergtrail" in Saalbach Hinterglemm. Now the almost legendary trail has been expanded and has a total length of 10 km since its opening last weekend.

Two Pinzgau freeriders, Sabine Schipflinger and Siobhan Challis, dominated the sunny first edition of the OPEN FACES Freeride Contest in Uttendorf-Weißsee, Salzburg. In the men's ski category, there is currently no way around Tyrolean Stefan Jöchl, while Sabine Schipflinger (AUT) won the women's ski category. First place in the snowboarder category went to Gergo Szkalák from Hungary, while Siobhan Challis (AUT) won the women's competition.
