Tyrol and skiing - the two words go together like winter and snow. Where snow-covered slopes, glistening fir trees and rustic wooden huts lure young and old into a winter paradise, the crucial question arises in the morning at the hotel: Where exactly do you want to go today?
The most beautiful ski resorts
There are almost 80 ski areas in our beautiful Tyrol. It doesn't matter whether it's a family holiday in a manageable ski area for beginners or endless kilometres of pistes for ski pros - there's something for everyone with this huge selection! In this blog post we show you our favourite ski resortswhere you can whizz down the slopes in the sunshine. On your skis, get set and go!
Muttereralm - Mutters/Götzens
The Muttereralm ski area stretches from 897 to 1,804 metres above sea level. Over 15 kilometres of pistes make the hearts of ski and snowboard fans beat faster. Whether beginner or expert - this ski area offers something for everyone. There are various pistes around the mountain station that are perfect for beginners and returners. Experienced skiers, meanwhile, can plunge down the slopes to Mutters and Götzens and enjoy the snow flurries to the full.
Kühtai
Mountains and snow as far as the eye can see - that's what awaits visitors to the highest ski resort in Tyrol! At an altitude of 2,020 metres, the Kühtai ski area beckons with its 46 kilometres of pistes and twelve lifts. The mountain stations offer breathtaking views over the small village and the wide ski slopes all around - there is no other Tyrolean ski area where the feeling of being far away from civilisation is so high. With its north and south-facing slopes, you can ski in the sun as early as the morning. In the afternoon, the last rays of sunshine of the day can be enjoyed on the north-facing slope opposite.
Stubai Glacier
117 glaciers rise up from the Stubai Valley and provide a glittering, white mountain panorama for a winter wonderland. Five of these glaciers are part of the Stubai Glacier ski area and transform it into the perfect ski resort for young and old. With 34 downhill runs and 26 cable cars and lifts, the Stubai Glacier is the largest glacier ski area in Austriathat you absolutely have to experience. Not only freeriders and snowboarders get their money's worth here, but also cross-country skiers and winter hikers. Beginners are also well catered for: they can improve their skiing and snowboarding skills on the beginners' area at the Gamsgarten mountain station and on the surrounding pistes around the Murmele 6-seater chairlift.
Innsbruck - Nordkette
Its sunny location on the southern slope makes the small ski area on the Nordkette a popular ski resort and can be perfectly combined with a city trip to Innsbruck. Situated at 1,905 metres above sea level, Seegrube has always been the winter sports area for the people of Innsbruck and enchants with its snow-covered slopes. In addition to the "Nordkette Skylinepark", a unique snow park, as well as beginner and child-friendly pistes, the ski area also offers numerous freeride options for professionals!
All those who want to put their skills to the test head to the Top of Innsbruck - the Hafelekar at 2,334 metres above sea level. This is where every freerider's heart starts to beat faster! A steep descent via the Karrinne, which leads to the steepest ski routes in Europe heard. With a Gradient from 70% this descent is a real classic in the Alps!
