Training trails Pitztal
Your start to the cross-country skiing season in autumn
Thanks to our high-altitude location in the Alps, we can offer you first-class conditions on two top-class cross-country trails as early as autumn. With the Pitztal Glacier High-Altitude Trail, open from 10 October 2026, and the training trail in Mandarfen, open from 17 October 2026 training trail in Mandarfen, there are two trails for you to get started with cross-country skiing this autumn. The range of facilities is complemented by a designated roller-skiing route around Mandarfen.
Early start to the season thanks to high alpine infrastructure
As early as autumn, specialist training trails are available to keen cross-country skiers and professional athletes, which, thanks to the altitude, offer above-average snow reliability. The Mandarfen training trail is situated at an altitude of 1,700 m, is approximately 1.7 km long and 5 m wide and utilises the snow farming method. There is a changing room at the start of the trail.
Mandarfen training trail: Info and prices
The cross-country ski trail can be booked for three time slots, one of which is reserved exclusively for competitive athletes. There is a quota of 50 tickets per slot. Bookings can only be made via the online ticket shop. The price per person per slot is €12.00.
Slot 1: 07:00 am–10:00 am (competitive athletes)
Slot 2: 10:00 am–12:00 am (public skiing)
Slot 3: 13:00 pm–06:00 pm (competitive athletes & public session)
Once you have made your booking, you will receive a training trail T-shirt in exchange for a deposit of €20.00, which entitles you to use the training trail. This can be collected and returned during opening hours at the Mandarfen Tourist Information Office. On days when the information office is closed, cross-country skiers can collect their race number at Restaurant Siglu or at the reception of the Hotel “Das Vier”. The deposit will, of course, be refunded when the race number is returned.

Guaranteed snow cover on the training trail
The snow depot of the Mandarfen training trail contains around 30,000 cubic metres of snow.
So that you can concentrate fully on your training, we play it safe: around 30,000 m³ of snow is ready for the start of the season. Thanks to state-of-the-art covering technology, 70 to 80 % of the snow volume is retained over the summer. This guarantees an early start to cross-country skiing in autumn. We have also used the valuable experience from the first year to optimise the route planning.
