Girls’ weekend in the powder paradise.
Warth-Schröcken is considered Austria’s most snow-sure ski resort—a true mecca for freeriders. Blogger Gesa tried it out with two friends and experienced what a perfect girls’ weekend in the powder looks like.
Arrival in the snow kingdom.
Freeriding with a guide.
“Skis on, snow in the face, wide grins under the facemask”—that’s how Gesa describes the mood. Riding the lifts replaces long hikes, leaving more time for what really matters: deep-snow runs and pure joy.

Even in the afternoon, the friends still find untouched slopes. Their legs are getting tired, but their excitement is even greater. Over a hot chocolate, they recharge for one last run before heading back to the village. The pistes end right at their accommodation—and the snow-covered car shows just how heavily it snowed overnight.
In the evening, the three wind down with beer and local cuisine. There’s little time to rest, as the next powder day awaits in the morning. Thanks to their guide, they discover more runs and cover plenty of vertical metres. The verdict is quickly clear: Warth-Schröcken will not be their last powder trip.
Gesa’s freeriding tips.
Safety first.
Freeriding means skiing in open terrain—and that comes with risks. Anyone attempting it should carry avalanche gear (transceiver, probe, shovel, and ideally an airbag backpack) and know how to use it. Warth-Schröcken offers safety camps and courses for a secure introduction.
Trust a local guide.
Beginners especially benefit from a guide’s experience.
Always up to date.
Before any tour, it’s worth checking the current avalanche and weather conditions.
A weekend in the powder paradise of Warth-Schröcken shows that freeriding here is a joy not only for professionals—beginners like Gesa and her friends also find safe conditions, excellent guidance, and endless powder.
