Ski area Buchensteinwand (Pillersee) - St. Ulrich am Pillersee/St. Jakob in Haus/Hochfilzen

The "3 Länder Freizeit-Arena" lift pass allows you to use a total of around 163 kilometres of piste and 52 lifts. In addition to Pillersee/Buchensteinwand, the ski areas of St. Johann in Tirol/Oberndorf, Erpfendorf, Kirchdorf, Steinplatte Waidring, Winklmoosalm - Reit im Winkl as well as the Heutal Lifts Unken and the Lofer/Almwelt lift systems are included in the ski pass.

From Hochfilzen, you can quickly and easily reach the "Buchensteinwand/Pillersee" ski area with approx. 21 kilometres of piste and 9 lift systems. With its manageable size, it is particularly suitable for families with children. The experts can let off steam in the large "Pletzi children's park", for example.

But it's also worth making a detour to the surrounding ski areas: on the Steinplatte and the Winklmoosalm, you will find easy and moderately difficult descents. In St. Johann in Tirol, on the other hand, thanks to the 3.5 km long black Sauregg FIS descent and the freeride areas at Stanglalm and Kröpflalm, more demanding skiers will also get their money's worth.

With the upgrade to the "Super Ski Card" ski pass, you even have the choice of over 2,840 kilometres of piste and 946 lift systems in 23 ski regions!

Après ski Buchensteinwand (Pillersee) - St. Ulrich am Pillersee/St. Jakob in Haus/Hochfilzen

In addition to skiing, Hochfilzen and its neighbouring villages have everything to offer that makes for a fulfilling winter holiday. Tobogganing fun in Hochfilzen can be found on the "Hoametz" directly in the Pillersee ski area. The 1.5 km long toboggan run leads from the Hoametzlhütte to the Warmingerhof and is floodlit until midnight. You can hire toboggans directly from the hut. There are also various toboggan slopes in the other four municipalities in the valley for a varied toboggan run.

The umbrella bar right by the Pillersee ski area regularly organises parties, so night owls will also get their money's worth here. If you prefer a more leisurely pace, you can also enjoy the fantastic mountain scenery on kilometres of hiking trails or put your ice skating skills to the test on the frozen Pillersee.

During the day and in the evening, you can feast on regional specialities in numerous restaurants and inns, which serve Kaiserschmarrn, Gröstl and fried chicken, among other things.

Snowpark Buchensteinwand (Pillersee) - St. Ulrich am Pillersee/St. Jakob in Haus/Hochfilzen: Stone slab

Freestylers who have never been to Pillerseetal should change that as soon as possible! Because those who want to venture away from the family ski area of Hochfilzen to the risky heights should definitely not miss out on the "Snowpark Steinplatte". After a long wait, the pros of the scene and especially those who want to become pros can now be found here again. Over a length of 740 metres, there are three different areas to suit every level of rider.

Are you just starting out? No problem, because the beginner lines will introduce you perfectly to the new challenge. A dancefloor, an elephant, wax and flat/down butterbox as well as a mushroom jib and other obstacles allow you to take your first freestyle steps and are guaranteed to help you decline quickly.

This sounds too boring for you? Then you're probably better off in the medium and advanced areas! From the 3 m wallride spine and the 6 m long picnic kicker to various boxes and the massive kickers with 7 - 11 m jumps, every wish will be fulfilled and you will be invited to put the finishing touches to your moves.
