40 km of ski slopes and 9 modern lift facilities, the Hochzeiger Snow Park above the intermediate station and exactly 1,000 m of altitude difference attract many winter athletes on the high plateau above Jerzens in the Pitztal valley. Snow is not lacking in this skiing area, as it features state-of-the-art snow making equipment guaranteeing snow from the beginning of December to April.

Snowboarding, carving or skiing stands for fun both for adults and children! If you don't have skis or equipment, you can rent it in one of the ski rentals at the lower terminus of the Hochzeiger lift facilities. And did you know that this skiing area is the home skiing area of the former ski star Benjamin Raich? The Benni Raich Slope, the black ski slope no. 3, is named after the famous skier. Particularly popular are also the Zirbenfall Slope (with an 80% decline), the Panorama Slope and the Selftime racing track with personal timing.

However, the Hochzeiger is considered to be the skiing area number 1 for families in the Pitztal valley. It includes undulating terrain and is clear of trees. Furthermore, the "Bambini-Freiskipass" offers a free skipass for a child under the age of 10 when accompanied by a paying parent. The offer is completed by the 6 km long natural toboggan run and Pitzi's Ski Rules Trail, where Pitzi and his friends explain the FIS rules. The Snow Card Tyrol (more than 90 skiing areas in Tyrol), the Tyrol Regio Card (reductions for leisure time facilities in Tyrol) and the Glacier Park Card Winter (6 skiing areas around the Pitztal and Kaunertal Glaciers) are valid on Mt. Hochzeiger.

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.
