Pitztal Glacier and Rifflsee

The highest located glacial skiing area does not only attract due to its panorama on the remarkable surrounding high mountain region.

The skiing area Pitztales Gletscher Rifflsee, located high above the municipality of St. Leonhard in the Pitztal valley, offers ideal skiing conditions for adults and children. This is where you can explore more than 50 km of ski slopes at an altitude ranging from 1,641 and 3,441 m asl. Slopes of every level of difficulty make the ski region also suitable for beginners. Snowboarders can look forward to the slopes at the Mittelbergerbahn lift facility as well as a great funpark boasting waves, hand rails, straight boxes, jumps, corners and step-ups.

In this skiing area you don’t have to wait until snow is falling, as on the Pitztal glacier there is always snow. For this reason this skiing area is also an attraction in summer. However, in Rifflsee you can enjoy skiing from December to mid April. Both in the skiing area Pitztal glacier and Rifflsee, you can enjoy a fabulous view on the mountains of 3,000 metres of the Innerpitztal valley. A hot tip for the paparazzi: this skiing area is one of the ski resorts in which Benjamin Raich can be seen from time to time. :-)

One of the offers that has to be highlighted in this skiing area is the so called “Bambini Freipass”, which provides free access to children under 5. There are also reductions for children under 15. Moreover certified ski instructors teach your children skiing.

Some 60 km of cross-country ski tracks can be explored by those who love nordic sports. And in late afternoon you can meet up in the mountain restaurant Rifflsee, the cosy Rifflsee mountain hut and the country style Taschach Alm. Oh yes, skiing in the highest located glacial skiing area is a real pleasure.
