Mölltaler Gletscher lies in the Kärnten region and is a small, family-run ski area: 36 kilometres of piste served by 8 lifts.

The area runs from 2108 to 3122 metres above sea level, giving around 1,014 metres of vertical. That takes the terrain above the 3,000-metre mark, which markedly improves snow reliability on the upper slopes.

The ski terrain reaches up to a glacier, and the season runs Oct – May. There is no summer skiing here any more, but the state of the glacier remains a live issue.

An adult day pass costs EUR 69.

Of note: Carinthia’s only glacier ski area. Summer operation ended in 2022; autumn and winter skiing continue.

Frequently asked about Mölltaler Gletscher

How high is Mölltaler Gletscher?

The ski area runs from 2,108 to 3,122 metres above sea level, a vertical range of 1,014 metres. For snow reliability the lower figure matters more: that is where the snow disappears first, and where a mild December is felt before it is felt at the top.

How many kilometres of piste does Mölltaler Gletscher have?

36 kilometres on 8 lifts, according to the operator. There is no binding standard for measuring piste kilometres, so the figure is comparable between resorts only to a point. The lift count says at least as much about how big a place feels.

What does a day pass at Mölltaler Gletscher cost?

EUR 69 for an adult day pass at the standard rate, as of summer 2026. Booked early it is often less; on a peak Saturday it is not.

When does Mölltaler Gletscher open?

The usual season window is Oct – May. For winter 2026/27 the resort has announced 10 October 2026 as its starting date (Gletscher). Every announced date depends on enough snow and cold.

Does Mölltaler Gletscher have a glacier?

Yes. Glacier terrain makes the early season more reliable, because the snow layer is supported from below by ice. The summers since 2022 have shown that this is no longer a guarantee either: several Alpine glacier areas have given up summer skiing altogether.
