Ski resorts in Austria with guaranteed snow for skiing in March

Spring begins with its gentle awakening from hibernation. Warm hours of sunshine can be enjoyed while the first blossoms emerge: violets, primroses—and yet, you still want to go skiing in March or even mid-April?

Then the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis ski resort is the perfect place for you! A ski vacation in March here promises not only plenty of snow, but also lower prices, less crowded slopes and a particularly enjoyable time for the whole family. After the peak holiday season in February, things get much quieter in many ski resorts and in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, too. The off-season offers attractive deals and more space on the slopes.

We collected five compelling reasons why skiing in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis in March will be particularly delightful for you.

1. Sun-kissed skiing fun

Spring-like weather during a ski vacation makes getting up in the morning for a day on the slopes much more pleasant. You can skip the endless layers of clothing. Lightly packed, you can head directly from the Schlosshotel Fiss to the slopes with the lift. With the warming sun on your face, skiing enjoyment is heightened even more.

2. Skiing on slopes with guaranteed snow

But is there even guaranteed snow for skiing in March? In Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, the spring weather poses hardly a problem for the snow. Since the majority of the slopes are located above 2,000 m, this is an ideally situated spring ski resort where skiing is considered guaranteed even through the end of March or mid-April. This high altitude, combined with modern snowmaking technology, ensures that the slopes remain perfectly groomed even in the spring. An additional advantage of spring: With about 11 to 12 hours of daylight, March offers significantly longer and brighter skiing days than the height of winter.

A little insider tip from experienced skiers: In the morning, the slopes are often still hard or slightly icy, but as the day progresses, the snow transforms into soft, grippy firn snow. If you start early, you’ll secure the perfectly groomed slopes in the morning and can then enjoy that classic firn snow feeling in the afternoon.

3. Avoid long queues

The peak season is over, but you can still enjoy one of the most beautiful ski resorts to the fullest in March. The crowds have thinned out, the slopes are less crowded, and you can avoid long lines at the lifts. Securing the best tables in restaurants or on sun terraces is also easier. Since March is considered a more affordable off-season time, you’ll often benefit from more attractive prices for lodging and ski passes. The Schlosshotel Fiss offers attractive vacation packages outside the peak season that are perfect for a ski holiday in March and make a spring ski vacation a great choice.

4. Afternoon sun in the skiing huts

Ski vacations in March have a special charm as the days start to get longer again. When you stop by a hut, you can leisurely enjoy the sunset without having to rush down to the valley. Whether it's a refreshing beer at Kuhalm or a sweet mulled wine at Zirbenhütte, in Fiss, you'll find plenty of options to wind down your spring evening. The SHF sun terrace also beckons in the afternoon for basking in the sun and enjoying the ambiance. Moreover, with the SHF luxury board, guests even have access to an afternoon buffet to refuel directly after skiing.

5. Ideal for families

March is an ideal time, especially for families, to teach children how to ski or to help them build on what they’ve already learned. The combination of milder weather and less crowded slopes makes planning a day of skiing with children much easier. In Berta's Kinderland, you'll find numerous beginner lifts, conveyor belts and fun teaching aids to help your children learn to ski in a playful way. At our Schlosshotel Fiss, ski instructors will even pick up your children right from the hotel. After skiing, the kids can enjoy a varied program of games and crafts in the SHF Kids Club, play in the water park with a giant tire slide and relax together in the Family Spa. For teenagers, the youth room with an indoor climbing wall, table football, and the hotel's own cinema is ideal.

There’s dancing, partying and laughter. In short: you’ll never get bored here! Whether you're young or old, there's a suitable program to be found, and we've gathered a few highlights for you.
