The Pitztal - experience the roof of Tyrol

Alpine adventure in Austria's "little Chamonix"

Nestled in the wild beauty of the Ötztal Alps, surrounded by over 50 three-thousand metre peaks and far away from mass tourism, lies a true gem for all those looking for alpine experiences beyond the ordinary: the Pitztal.

Here, on Tyrol's highest glacier, unspoilt nature meets alpine challenge. Whether demanding ski tours, lonely powder slopes or steep couloirs - the Pitztal offers terrain that more than lives up to its reputation as Austria's "little Chamonix". And in a pristine setting that has become rare today.

🏔 Ski touring paradise & freeride playground
From classic three-thousand metre peaks such as the Wildspitze (3,774 m) to hidden lines and north-facing slopes: The Pitztal is a mecca for ski tourers, splitboarders and freeriders. Technical, varied, challenging - and above all: genuine.

🚠 Short ascents - long descents
Thanks to the high-altitude lifts such as the Pitztal Glacier Express and the Wildspitzbahn cable car, you can quickly reach the high alpine terrain. From there, long descents with up to 2,000 metres of altitude difference open up - combined with only short, efficient ascents. Ideal for challenging days with maximum flow.

🏞 Silence & vastness in the Kaunergrat Nature Park
Those seeking solitude will find it in the Kaunergrat Nature Park - a retreat full of silence, snow-covered slopes and tranquil beauty. Off the beaten track, you can immerse yourself in a world that has remained unspoilt and wild.

🏘 Authentic mountain villages with heart
The small villages such as St. Leonhard, Plangeroß or Tieflehn preserve what has been lost elsewhere: living alpine culture, genuine hospitality and village character - without après-ski hype and lift palaces.

🧭 Ideal for individualists
No queues, no crowds, no noise - the Pitztal is aimed at people who are looking for depth instead of hustle and bustle. Looking for nature and a challenge - not an event programme.
