Ski tours in Pitztal

The so-called Ötztaler Alps, to which the mountain world of the Pitztal geographically belongs, offer wild natural experiences without hectic and stress. Guided tours as well as courses for beginners and advanced ski tourers will give everyone the opportunity to experience the adventure "Ski Tour" in the Pitztal.

Around the area on the Pitztal Glacier and Rifflsee are countless ski touring possibilities. Rositzkogel (3.394 m), Schluchtkogel (3.471m) or K2 (3.253m) are only a few of many worthwhile high-alpine destinations with breathtaking glaciers on the roof of Tyrol.

A very special holiday highlight is of course a trip to the highest mountain of Tyrol (Wildspitze with 3.774 m). The descent takes place via the Taschachferner to Mittelberg. For a safe mountain experience, our local guides provide you with the best training - secret tips for powder runs included.

Beginners on the other hand can enjoy easier ski tours in the Pitztal ski area Hochzeiger above Jerzens. Gentle and sunny slopes above 2000m are just perfect for practising.

Touring Tip: Gogles Alm - a hut which is opened in winter from Wednesday to Sunday
From Wednesday to Sunday the Gogles Alm is opened for ski tourers and welcomes guests with delicious local food and a fantastic view (until Easter). If you want to extend your stay a little longer it is also possible to spend the night. The tour takes approximately 1,5 hours and start at the Nature Park House Kaunergrat.

Then cross through a short underpass and follow the toboggan run (please BE CAREFUL as there may be oncoming traffic) until you reach Tanzalm mountain hut and further on to Zeigerrestaurant at the intermediate station. 
 

Ferner Route - Red

Ausgangspunkt
Glacier Restaurant (2684m)
Endpunkt
Top station Mittelbergbahn (Gondola) (3278m)
Access:
From the Glacier Restaurant at the top station of Pitztal's Gletscherexpress via a short downhill stretch on ski piste number 25 to Gletschersee base station of Mittelbergbahn. The ascent route starts right at the base station next to the signpost.
 
Characteristics and Description:
Red Piste – Intermediate ski tour along the ski run
From the starting point at the Gletschersee chair lift base station you keep to the left edge of the ski run (seen from the valley) on ski piste number 36. Right at the start, close to the base station, there is a very tricky narrow section covering about 50 meters. Watch out for oncoming sportspeople. After another 500-meter stretch the ascent route travels along the ski piste number 36. A moderately climbing section in the lower third is followed by a separate ascent track, leaving behind the ski run. Shortly before you reach the top station of Mittelbergbahn, in the surroundings of Mittelbergjoch saddle, you reach the ski piste number 36 again. A last but pleasant ascent on the left edge of the ski run (seen from the valley) takes you to the top station of Mittelbergbahn. A very lovely route just perfect for slightly advanced ski touring fans.
