The Glungezer skiing area convinces with its naturalness and one of the longest slopes throughout Tyrol (15 km). Snowboarder, however, can look forward to the Jib-Park Glungezer - its elements are being reshaped again and again during the winter season. Something special in the skiing area is the "Klumpern" on the ski exercise slope, using a traditional wooden sled with one runner only. It is called "Rennböckl" in Tyrolean dialect. A further highlight, reachable with touring skis or snowshoes, is the Glungezer Igloo village at 2,600 m a.s.l. with 10 igloos with the possibility of overnight accomodation and an unforgettable view on 500 surrounding peaks.

New in the winter season 2019/2020, however, is the snowmaking equipment for snow guarantee from December to Easter.

Due to the tightened measures taken on November 3, 2020 to control the coronavirus, the start of the 2020-21 winter season has been postponed to December 24, 2020. Catering and accommodation establishments will be closed until the end of February 2021.
