Planning a last minute trip to Austria and wondering which resorts are best for local ski mountaineering?

Also any up to date info on current off piste conditions would be really helpful

thanks

There's a lot around Stubai/Neustift. I'm just back from a week in the Franz Sehn hut which has access to some good tours/peaks. Very spring like conditions with some stripping over the week we were there, but it didn't hinder our plans. All the glaciers we skied on had good cover and very few open crevasses;

You can also get a touring pass for the Stubai resort and access some tours from there.

Spent last year in the Kitzbuhl area which was very good.Plenty of stuff accessible from the road.

Don't know about snow conditions this year.

Cheers Oli, now got flights sorted with the area SW of Innsbruck where we’ve now homed in so  sussing accommodation options incl huts. Was Franz Shen busy & did you book it in advance?

We booked about a week before and managed to extend by a couple of days once we were there. The weekends seemed like they'd get booked up early so would imagine mid week bookings would still be available.

Its a great hut with good food, showers etc... luxury!
