This is not a mountain slope skiing resort. It is not an Alps skiing resort. It is a glacier skiing resort in which snow cover is complemented by another glacier, the Stubai. This means that during winter, the almost 6 miles of ski runs will have an excellent cover of snow, as well as six feet of snow base. But the snow cover, the snow base, and their pristine white landscape are not the reasons why the new ski resort of Moelltal Glacier is considered a very romantic ski resort. The romance is found at the summit.

Snow can be the best plaything on Earth. One can have a snow ball fight and make a snow man with it. One can spend a chilly Sunday afternoon sledding down it until it is nothing but muddy mush and the snow clothes need cleaning. One can use it for a home like the Eskimos and polar bears do. One can snow ski on it, either for recreational purposes or for a professional competition. Regardless of what one is skiing for, it is always fun, until someone misses getting off of the chair lift! Watch out for that skier, it is a sign that they are a beginner and will run into you, if you are in their way.
