The "Eisacktal" (Valle Isarco) lift pass offers skiing fun and variety in Brixen-Plose and Gitschberg-Jochtal across a total of 98 kilometres of slopes. Meransen lies at an altitude of over 1,400 metres, right next to the Gitschberg-Jochtal ski area, where there are almost 55 kilometres of slopes and 16 lifts to explore. The lift network comprises the Gitschberg ski area (2,510 m) and the Jochtal (up to 2,100 m) near Vals. Both are easily accessible from Meransen by gondola or a connecting cable car. In Meransen, gentle practice slopes await children and beginners, whilst further up the mountain there are several red and one black run for advanced skiers. On the sunny summit of the Gitsch, there is also one of three viewing platforms, from which you can enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of over 500 peaks, stretching from the Dolomites to the Zillertal, Stubai and Ötztal Alps. The other two, no less spectacular, panoramic viewpoints are located at Steinermandl and Astjoch. Via the connection with the Gaisjoch and Schillingbahn lifts, you can cross over to Vals, where the Hinterberg and the family-friendly Jochtal await. There are a total of around 22 km of slopes and seven lifts here, including slopes suitable for beginners, as well as several red and a few black runs. The slopes in both parts of the ski area are varied, beautifully wide and easy to navigate.

There are several children’s areas for the little ones, most notably in Meransen village at the Zwergele Winterwelt. Here, there are three magic carpets, a tubing run, slides and a swing for children of all ages. There is also a floodlit slope for classic night skiing, and in Vals, snowboarders can enjoy themselves in the fun park. An all-round successful, family-friendly ski resort!

Upgrading to the “Dolomiti Superski” lift pass also gives you the opportunity to ski across 12 ski resorts covering a total of 1,200 kilometres of slopes (see ski region).

Rules of conduct on ski pistes in Italy

To use the ski areas, you must have valid liability insurance that covers damage or injury to third parties. This can also be taken out on site for individual days. Skiing while intoxicated (0.5 per mille or higher BAC) is prohibited and is punishable by heavy fines. To reduce the risk of injury, wearing a helmet is compulsory for everyone (regardless of age, on all ski runs, in snow parks and on toboggan runs). Anyone who does not comply with the helmet requirement will be fined or banned from the slopes.
