Resort profile

What makes this resort different

Weather-sensitive lower mountain

Mountain character

Lackenhof Ötscher Lower Austria is best understood as a weather-sensitive lower mountain: lower elevation and/or weaker snow-reliability evidence imply greater dependence on favourable weather cycles.

Top elevation 1,426 m

Snow-reliability 49/100

The trade-off

Trips chosen with a close eye on the current weather and snow cycle rather than structural snow resilience.

Lower elevation and/or weaker snow-reliability evidence increase dependence on favourable conditions.
