Moelltal Glacier: Frequently Asked Questions
How high is Moelltal Glacier?

Who tends to ski there?
Autumn visitors and race training groups: Moelltal Glacier has reliable early snow and short lift queues rather than a large piste network.
What happens if the glacier lifts close in wind?
The combined ticket for Moelltal Glacier also covers Ankogel at Mallnitz, a lower and more sheltered mountain about half an hour away by road.
How do you get up to the slopes?
A funicular from Innerfragant carries skiers from the valley into the Moelltal Glacier basin, so no toll glacier road is needed.
