Breathtaking ski tours on the nearby 3.000 m mountains of Pitztal

Enjoy the unique world of glaciers, far away from the hustle and bustle of the slopes. The Gletscher Express mountain station, at 2.840 m, is the ideal starting point for a ski tour over 3.000 m above sea level. You can reach impressive peaks and ridges around the Pitztal glacier in Tyrol within a day from here.

The mountains surrounding Rifflsee also promise impressive ski tours. The Rifflsee lift station, at an altitude of 2.300 m, is the ideal starting point for all tours, from easy to difficult!

• More information about ski tours around the Pitztal glacier and Rifflsee can be obtained from the local mountain school:
