Skiing not your thing – at least not all the time? Even better, because the Ötztal offers much more than just traditional winter sports. Explore charming alpine huts with toboggan runs, wander through the winter wonderland on a scenic hike, or glide across the ice on the beautiful Lake Piburg.

Ski touring with descent on the slope

Sporty ascent, relaxing descent, pure nature and complete silence: If you've ever experienced a ski tour, you know the allure. No deep snow experience? No problem! In Hochoetz, there's a marked and secured ski tour where the descent is on the piste – perfect for skiers with basic skills. You can get all the equipment you need directly at the Resort, and a guide can be easily booked at the reception.

Winter hiking

Our Resort is ideally located on the edge of the village, allowing you to start your hike directly along the Ötztaler Ache, to the viewing platforms, or to Lake Piburg. With just a short drive, you can easily access numerous panoramic hiking trails, such as those in Hochoetz (via gondola), Kühtai, or the Feldringer Böden.

Breathe in, breathe out, hold your breath - and then bravely plunge into the ice-cold fountain of youth in the heart of the Resort.

Tobogganing

A tobogganing trip is always a blast! You can rent the perfect sled at the huts or directly at our Resort. For families, we recommend the nearby Widi Toboggan Run from Piburg to Lake Piburg – just a 5-minute drive away. Incredible panoramic views await on the toboggan runs at Feldringer Alm and Kühtai.

Ice skating on Lake Piburg

In winter, a visit to Lake Piburg is a must. When the natural jewel is frozen, you can glide across the glistening ice either on ice skates (available to hire on site) or by foot.

Hut hopping as the most enjoyable way to discover the region

Explore Ötztal's hospitality at the Feldring Alm on the Sattele, the Kühtaile Alm in Hochoetz, the Seehäusl at Lake Piburg or many other cozy huts. What could be cozier than curling up with a warm drink as the snow gently falls outside?
