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.
Snowshoeing
Once a week we invite you to a free snowshoe tour at night through the snow-covered forests of the Ötztal - a magical experience! Fancy more? You can book other exclusive tours for you and your family at the reception. If you want to go on your own, we will be happy to lend you the equipment and add a few insider tips on top.
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.
Ice bathing
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?
Cross-country skiing
The Nordic version of skiing combines effective endurance training with an impressive nature experience. In Ochsengarten, Kühtai, Niederthai, Längenfeld, Imst, Seefeld and Leutasch - all less than 30 minutes away – you will find first-class tracks for every type of cross-country skier.
Carriage ride
A romantic carriage ride through the snow-covered Ötztal is one of the unforgettable winter highlights. Whether in Oetz or Längenfeld, let yourself be enchanted by the passing fairytale landscape and the snorting horses.
