That\u2019s because the modern 10-seater gondolas take them almost directly from the town centre to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/italy\/sterzing\/ski-area.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rosskopf ski resort<\/a>. The valley station is just a few minutes\u2019 walk from the historic old town. In the afternoon in particular, it is precisely this proximity that makes it possible to combine sporting activities on the mountain with relaxation in the valley almost seamlessly. After the last run of the day, the historic old town, for example, invites you to linger and enjoy the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-2 whitespace-pre-wrap\">It\u2019s particularly lovely in December, when Vipiteno glows in the warm radiance of the Christmas market beneath the Zw\u00f6lferturm. Here, the scent of cinnamon, mulled wine and freshly baked South Tyrolean specialities wafts through the medieval pedestrian zone. Meanwhile, winter sports enthusiasts, many other visitors and locals stroll leisurely through the festively decorated streets, rounding off a cosy winter\u2019s day.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2192 Plan your Alpine getaway and find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/search_book.html?destinationId=6846&amp;destinationUuId=4028815c9670032a0196816791bd1897\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best offers for Vipiteno<\/a> at SnowTrex<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2-skiing-with-city-views-and-a-magnificent-mountain-panorama\">2.

The fact that these are \u2018skiable\u2019 for almost the entire winter is down to the Wipptal\u2019s reliable snow conditions. This is due, on the one hand, to its favourable location directly on the main Alpine ridge and, on the other, to a network of state-of-the-art and sustainably operated snow-making systems. The wide slopes offer plenty of space for enjoyable carving turns or safe gliding, and the manageable size of the ski area ensures that all skiers and snowboarders can find their way around effortlessly and enjoy their day on the slopes from start to finish.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4-55-km-long-valley-run-down-to-vipiteno\">4. 5.5 km-long valley run down to Vipiteno<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The longest run at Rosskopf is the <strong>popular 5.5 km-long valley run<\/strong>, which leads from the sunny plateau at an altitude of 2,100 m directly to the outskirts of the town.<\/li>\n<li>The \u2018architectural highlight\u2019 of the valley run is the <strong>passage beneath the massive pillars of the legendary Brenner Motorway<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-65824 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df\" title=\"From the slopes leading down into the valley, roughly beneath the Rosskopf cable car, winter sports enthusiasts are treated to a fantastic view of the Wipptal high above Vipiteno.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"From the slopes leading down into the valley, roughly beneath the Rosskopf cable car, winter sports enthusiasts are treated to a fantastic view of the Wipptal high above Vipiteno.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-729x486.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-468x312.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-999x666.jpg 999w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2026\/07\/RS28689_WinterRosskopf81-scr.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"65824\">\u00a9 TG Sterzing Pfitsch Freienfeld - 99tales<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"tt-post-caption\">From the slopes leading down into the valley, roughly beneath the Rosskopf cable car, winter sports enthusiasts are treated to a fantastic view of the Wipptal high above Vipiteno.<\/div>\n         <\/div > \n<p>The longest run in the Rosskopf ski area stretches for 5.5 km and takes skiers and snowboarders from a sunny mountain plateau at just under 2,100 m through varied terrain straight to the outskirts of Vipiteno.

At this early hour, winter sports enthusiasts can experience freshly groomed, empty slopes in a particularly peaceful morning atmosphere at sunrise. After their first few turns, the cosy mountain huts beckon with a hearty South Tyrolean breakfast.<\/p>\n<h3>How long is the toboggan run at Rosskopf in Vipiteno?<\/h3>\n<p>With a total length of 10 km, the toboggan run at Rosskopf is the longest snow-covered and floodlit toboggan run in the whole of Italy. It descends a height difference of around 900 m back down into the valley, and the journey takes 30 to 45 minutes. During night tobogganing on Tuesdays and Fridays, the fully snow-covered run remains lit until midnight.<\/p>\n<h3>What special offers are available for families in the Rosskopf ski area?<\/h3>\n<p>It offers a very manageable and compact area with a practice slope, modern magic carpets, a FunSlope and a professional ski school. On the playfully designed FunSlope, featuring waves and steep bends, children learn to ski safely with ease and have lots of fun.<\/p>\n<h3>How far is the Rosskopf cable car from the centre of Vipiteno?<\/h3>\n<p>The valley station of the Rosskopf cable car is in the immediate vicinity of the town centre and is just a few minutes\u2019 walk from the historic old town. This exceptional location offers the perfect combination of exhilarating ski runs, cosy stops for refreshments and a stroll through the town. In December in particular, a visit to the Vipiteno ski resort can be perfectly combined with a trip to the atmospheric Christmas market.<\/p>\n<h3>What other ski resorts are there in the Vipiteno holiday region?<\/h3>\n<p>The two first-class ski resorts of Ladurns and Ratschings-Jaufen are in the immediate vicinity. Together, the three ski resorts in South Tyrol\u2019s Wipptal offer a total of 66 km of varied slopes and 19 rustic mountain huts where you can stop for a bite to eat. All resorts are characterised by reliable snow conditions and state-of-the-art lift facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the north of South Tyrol, a true paradise for winter sports enthusiasts awaits.
