Snow has fallen on the glaciers over the last few days and eager anticipation for carving virgin lines down the slopes increases with every new picture published. The formula “higher is better” certainly applies here, especially at the start of the season. This makes the 5 Tyrolean glaciers the perfect place to be: you can ski in the glacier ski resorts of Kaunertal, Pitztal, Sölden, Stubai and Hintertux at over 3,000 metres above sea level and there is ample space for fun on the slopes. Not only that, there are glacier hotels that cater perfectly for skiers, flexible ski passes and fun of the highest standards in the snow parks.
More than 500 three-thousand metre peaks, over 80 ski areas, 5 nature parks and a cross-border national park: Tyrol is a land of contrasts.
New ski lifts, new cross-country skiing trails, new highlights for families and new attractions away from the slopes: visitors to Tyrol in winter 2022/23 can look forward to lots of great developments and innovations. Here are some of the best.
The winter season will soon be here again and there are lots of new developments at all of SkiStar’s destinations for young and old alike. Besides improving snow production, we’re also continuing to work on everything from the hire and sale of used ski clothing and skis to providing more activities like snow parks and ski cross courses and increasing digitisation for a more carefree mountain experience. The new six-seater Stjärnliften lift will also open in Åre, which is an important step towards increasing capacity and guest satisfaction.
The next edition of A taste for skiing will be linked to a charity project in support of paediatric palliative care: part of the earnings from each dish sold during the 2022/23 winter season will be donated to the 'La miglior vita possibile' and 'Momo' associations. The project was initiated with the collaboration of the two 3-Michelin-starred chefs Norbert Niederkofler and Massimiliano Alajmo, both listed in 'The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2022'.
An overview of the most prominent new products and innovations for winter 2022/2023.
The Salomon Alpine ski racing team has been on the upswing in recent seasons, buoyed by impressive performances from its World Cup athletes (like Marta Bassino’s World Cup giant slalom title in 2021) and a crop of young talent rising up the ranks at both the international and local levels. The team’s growing strength has been built through an emphasis on service to athletes and, of course, innovative ski and boot products that are superior in function and radical design. With great service and superior products, the Salomon team has attracted a number of talented, up-and-coming young racers who are looking to become the next generation of World Cup stars. In the 2022/23 winter season, those athletes will be using a new S/RACE ski franchise (including the new S/RACE GS 12 and the S/RACE SL 12), created for committed on-piste skiers.
FISCHER ONE and FISCHER TWO have the clear goal of making skiing a more enjoyable and fun experience for the youngest of skiers and their families.
