Skiing in the Pitztal – guaranteed snow & plenty of variety

The Pitztal is a true ski paradise. The three ski resorts in the Pitztal offer skiing enjoyment of the highest standard. The Pitztal is one of the ski resorts in the Alps with the most reliable snow conditions, as 90 per cent of the slopes are above 2,000 metres. Modern lift facilities take guests up the mountains quickly and comfortably, providing access to 121 kilometres of slopes of all levels of difficulty – ideal for your skiing holiday. Quaint mountain huts and restaurants with panoramic views of the snow-capped peaks of the Ötztal Alps invite you to stop for a bite to eat.
