Double skiing pleasure in Hochoetz and Kühtai:
"2 ski areas - 1 ski pass" - is the name of the offer for our guests. Because every ski pass purchased in Hochoetz is valid for the lift in Kühtai as well as for the Hochoetz ski region in Tyrol. More slopes, more cable cars, more variety: our guests have 85 kilometers of slopes, 24 cable cars and lifts as well as 170 hectares of slopes available to our guests with one ski pass. Day after day - whenever you want - you can take the bus between Ochsengarten and Kühtai - that means unlimited skiing fun for all Wedel kings and boarders! The ski bus stops right at the resort and takes you to the Hochoetz gondola in 3 minutes.
THE ÖTZTAL SUPERSKIPASS: Concentrated power in one ticket:
If you want even more variety, it is best to choose the ÖTZTAL SUPERSKIPASS. In addition to the ski areas in Hochoetz and Kühtai, all lifts in Sölden, Gurgl, Vent, Niederthai and Gries are also open to you - 356 kilometers of perfectly groomed slopes and 90 state-of-the-art lifts: unlimited skiing fun!
Ski-Area Sölden – Heartbeat of the Alps
The ski area in Sölden impresses with its size and width. In addition to the James Bond adventure world "007 Elements", the many apres-ski opportunities in the more than 30 ski huts are also considered a highlight. Sölden is about 30 minutes by car from our resort and shines with 144 kilometers of slopes and 31 lifts.
Ski-Area Gurgl - Diamond of the Alps
The ski area Gurgl lies at an altitude of 1,800 m to 3,080 m and is particularly known for the breathtaking mountain panorama and the high-quality slopes. The Gurgl ski area can be reached in approx. 40 minutes by car. 112 kilometers of slopes and 25 lifts.
Experience more than classic winter sport!
The alpine huts with toboggan run in the area are perfect for off-piste excursions. There are countless opportunities to get to know the beautiful Ötztal nature while winter hiking. For example at the nearby Piburger See - there you can even ice-skate over the lake.
The Ötztal and the surrounding area also offer plenty of variety for cross-country skiers.
Ice bathing in the Natur resort
Ice bathing is healthy and ideal to start the day full of energy - and admittedly a bit crazy. On your next winter holiday you can try it out directly in the resort.
Ski touring with safe piste descent
Ski touring is very trendy. With us you can try this new sport. In Hochoetz there is a signposted and secured ski tour. The descent is then via the piste - only normal skiing skills are required. Equipment can be hired directly at the resort and a guide can be booked at reception if required.
Snowshoe
Once a week there is a FREE snowshoe tour at night for our guests through the snow-covered forests in the Ötztal. If you would like to book additional exclusive snowshoe tours with your partner or family, you can do so directly at reception.
Those who prefer to go snowshoeing alone can also rent them directly from us.
Winter hiking
Our resort is right on the outskirts and is therefore an ideal starting point for a large number of winter hiking trails. Either you hike in the valley area along the imposing Ötztaler Ache, to the viewing platforms in the village or to the natural jewel Piburger See. A multitude of panoramic winter hiking trails can be reached by car - for example in Hochoetz (gondola), Küthai or at Feldringer Boden.
toboggan
A toboggan excursion ensures fun and variety - some of the toboggans can be rented directly at the huts or at our resort. The nearby (5 minutes by car) Widi toboggan run from Piburg to Lake Piburg is ideal for families.
At the Feldringer Alm and in Kühtai there are toboggan runs with a special panorama and refreshment stops.
Ice skating on Lake Piburg
In the cold winter months, a trip to Lake Piburg is a must. Then the lake is frozen over and you can either slide across the lake with ice skates (can be rented on site) or on foot.
Visit huts
Not all huts have to be approached on skis. A stop at the Feldring Alm am Sattele, Kühtaile Alm in Hochoetz, Seehäusl am Piburger See or many others is always associated with culinary delicacies. It's a special feeling when you warm up with a good hot drink in the cozy huts and look back on the great experiences.
Cross-country skiing
Cross-country fans can choose between the routes in Ochsengarten, Kühhtai, Niederthai, Längenfeld, Imst, Seefeld and Leutasch (all of which can be reached in under 30 minutes).
There is something for every type of cross-country skiing.
Ride in a carriage
A carriage ride in the snow-covered Ötztal is another highlight in winter - this is possible either directly on site in Oetz or in Längenfeld.
