Little snow, full slopes! Despite difficult conditions, Salzburg's cable car operators can celebrate a strong season. In many places, the lifts are still running for many weeks - the "Krone" has an overview! 

Given the warm and dry weather of the past weeks and months, it sounds almost grotesque: the ski season started earlier than ever this winter! Thanks to unexpected amounts of fresh snow, the operators of the Hochkeil ski area opened for the first time on September 15 - without any artificial snow.
