Weather forecast for the coming days
Update from 12.09.2024
Heavy rain and snow warning

Cold air from the Norwegian Sea will advance to the Alps and the western Mediterranean region on Thursday. As a result, a low-pressure vortex will form over Italy, which will slowly shift to the eastern edge of the Alps and remain there for a day.

In the next few days, the first onset of winter is imminent in some regions of the mountains, enormous amounts of rain will come in some parts of the country at low altitudes, increasing the risk of flooding and mudslides.

The first rain showers will arrive on Wednesday afternoon, and in the night to Thursday it will start to rain heavily in more and more parts of the country.

From Thursday to the weekend it will rain heavily at times. On Thursday, there may be local flooding and mudslides, especially in southern Austria. From Friday to the weekend, the focus of rain will be from the Tyrolean lowlands over the north side of the Alps to northern Burgenland. Here, 100 to 200 litres of rain per square metre will fall across the board by the weekend, and significantly more locally. It rains as much within a few days as it usually does on average within several months. Flooding is to be expected, and the risk of flooding on smaller and medium-sized rivers is increasing.

In the mountains, it will be partly wintry. On Thursday morning, there may already be wintry driving conditions on some pass roads (for example on the Arlberg Pass or the Hantenjoch). At the weekend it will snow in the area of the Northern Alps partly up to below 1000m altitude, in Upper and Lower Austria possibly below 800m altitude, i.e. up to some valleys. More than a metre of snow can fall on the mountains, avalanches can go off.

The situation is likely to remain tense at the beginning of next week.

In addition to fresh snow and rain, stormy winds can lead to problems from Friday, especially in the lowlands in the east, but also in the mountains from the Hohe Tauern eastwards.

The enormous amounts of rain can lead to flooding and mudslides in the regions mentioned, and also to rockfall in the mountains.

The fresh snow in the mountains will lead to wintry driving conditions on some pass roads. Trees can fall under the weight of the wet, heavy snow and fall onto roads or power lines. Accordingly, local power outages are also possible in the next few days as a result.

Mountain weather - The hiking and climbing weather

When hiking or climbing in the UNESCO World Heritage region of Hallstatt Dachstein Salzkammergut, it is always an advantage to keep an eye on the current mountain weather. Whether it's a sightseeing trip to the 2000 meter high Krippenstein to the "5Fingers" viewing platform, a family hike on the Zwieselalm in Gosau or a climbing tour on the “Seewand” in Hallstatt. We keep an eye on the current mountain weather for you.

How’s the weather?

I'm coming to Hallstatt in February – what will the weather be like? Our editorial department receives these and other questions regarding the weather, on a daily basis. For this reason we have compiled some information for you below: Between June and early September is midsummer in the region. We recommend light and airy clothes, bathing suits and of course an umbrella. Because without rain, it is not a summer. In the months of September to the end of November it is Autumn in the Salzkammergut. Warm clothing is required; non-slip footwear and the obligatory umbrella should be in your luggage. Between the beginning of December and the beginning of March winter has its say. Warm jackets and shoes are now in demand, because in these months, the thermometer can sometimes fall to minus 10 degrees Celsius. In the Salzkammergut Spring usually awakes at the end of March or beginning of April. Then it is a bit more airy. However, you should have a rain jacket in your luggage at this time of year. Those who follow these
