"Downhill-oriented ski touring" sounds a bit unusual but has already become one of the latest trends. New ski equipment, bindings and other material have captured the market, promising both easy ascents and superb downhill skiing on deep powder snow slopes. While classic freeriders strongly depend on mountain lifts, ski mountaineers can choose from a much wider range of possibilities. The highly innovative ski tour equipment ensures memorable hours off the beaten tracks, followed by superb powder stashes. The Glacier Ski Area as well as the Rifflsee ski mountain make a perfect base for both sports, boasting variant routes with short ascents but endless downhill stretches covering incredible 1,500 to 2,000 altitude meters. 

The experts of Freeride Center Pitztal will show you the best spots! The local mountain and ski guides at Pitztal Glacier and Rifflsee take you to the valley's most secluded spots all winter long. Of course, safety is of utmost importance and the tours are chosen according to snow and weather conditions. Useful tips and tricks promise an adventure-packed day in the outdoors.
