Freeride Mölltaler Gletscher (glacier)

The high alpine freeriding terrain in the midst of the over 3.000 meters high Hohe Tauern is open six months of the year

Freeriding at Mölltaler Gletscher

Freeriding at Mölltaler Gletscher is almost a neverending story. You could say that the saison starts when it just finished. At least that’s what we’d like. But in reality you can enjoy here amazing downhills with all various snow conditions and steepnesses almost six months of a year. If the weather conditions allow, it’s already possible to start in September and mostly it goes till May. And this end of season is only due to the one month break of the skiing lift operator.

The area offers the perfect playground for all difficulty levels. You can enjoy anything from chilled 300 height meter donwhills to 1200m long downhills. In the middle of winter the glacier is frequently exposed to wind transports due to the high alpine location. With expertise of the area it’s possible to find very good snow conditions though thanks to its varied expositions. Due to the high alpine location (there are also crevasses), we offer our freeriding tours only with local and regional guides who have a profound experience in the area. That’s because fun and security are the first priority for us!
