Ski area Pitztal Glacier & Rifflsee
The Rifflsee ski area (approx. 26 kilometres of piste) is particularly popular with families. Wonderful deep snow areas and a black descent also await you at Grubenkopf! A red descent to the valley takes you back to the valley station of the glacier lift and allows you to switch to the Pitztal Glacier ski area.
The highest ski area in Austria offers a unique nature experience with the highest igloo village in the world, complete with illuminated ice sculptures, bar and chill-out area. Another special feature is the Wildspitzbahn, a modern cable car that takes you to the futuristically designed mountain station at 3,440 metres above sea level in just a few minutes. The lift is also home to Austria's highest café, which has a free-floating sun terrace.
A snowpark with various elements will delight snowboarders in particular, and there are also great freeride areas on the Mittelbachferner. The ski tour through the Taschachtal valley proves to be an area for real experts. It is no coincidence that the Pitztal Glacier is the venue for one of the toughest freeride races, the Pitztal Wild Face.
Après ski Pitztal Glacier & Rifflsee
Winter hiking trails and numerous toboggan runs, some of which are floodlit in the evening and offer sledging fun from 200 metres to 6 km, offer sporty alternatives to the daily fun on the slopes. An absolute highlight is ice climbing on the "Big Ben", an approx. 30 m high ice tower next to the valley station of the Rifflsee cable car. Alpinists can also reach a top area for ice climbing via the Glacier Express: a glacier ice cave in the glacier ski area offers ideal conditions. But the Pitztal also offers more harmless activities such as ice skating, Bavarian curling and tennis.

Freestyling in perfect conditions, in different areas - that's what freestylers can do in the snowpark on the Pitztal Glacier. The park is located at the Mittelbergbahn/Piste 36 and at 3,000 metres above sea level. From beginners to pros, there's something for everyone here: the park setup consists of a total of three areas with various jumps of all difficulty levels. In addition to kickers, boxes and rails, the park offers a wave track for both beginners and advanced riders.
You can let off steam here from autumn right through to spring, as the park's perfect altitude ensures consistently good conditions at all times of the year and day.
