For spring skiing, we recommend dressing in layers. Lightweight, breathable ski clothing ensures comfort when temperatures rise. Sunglasses and sunscreen for the skin are particularly important.  As it can still be chilly in the morning, it is a good idea to wear extra layers. These can be flexibly adjusted throughout the day – ideal for long days of skiing in the spring sunshine.

Snow reliability in spring is mainly offered by ski resorts with:
