Ski touring in Pitztal
The Hochzeiger ski resort the Pitztaler glacier and the Natur Park Kaunergrat are ideal areas for ski touring for both beginners and the experienced.
The Ötztaler Alps, which geographically Pitztal belongs to, offer real, wild back-country experiences without the hustle and bustle, and stress. Guided tours and courses for beginners and advanced skiers give everyone the opportunity to experience the adventure of “ski touring” in Pitztal.
