On the Kellerjoch, the 2,344 m high local mountain of Schwaz in the Tux Alps, there’s a small but mighty skiing area which provides a great view on the Tux Alps in the south and the Karwendel mountain chain in the north. The Kellerjochbahnen lift facilities - a double chairlift and two T-bar lifts - take you from the hamlet of Pill up to 1,887 m a.s.l. where 14 km of well-groomed slopes are waiting for you. Also the Schippel Ski School with ski rental is available.
With its own family downhill run and the new Grafenast Kids’ Park on a sunny and gentle practise slope, Mt. Kellerjoch is a very family-friendly skiing area. For those who love challenges, there is the Waizer Slope (2.4 km long) as well as a sports downhill run. Also the 8 km long natural toboggan run from the Hecherhaus mountain hut (1,900 m a.s.l.) to Arzberg (850 m a.s.l.) is part of the skiing area. It continues down the valley to Freundsberg Castle.
Beside the Kellerjoch, there are a few single ski lifts in the Silver Region Karwendel: in Weerberg the two Schwanner lifts which serve a relatively plain slope, as well as the Hüttegg lift can be found. The latter takes you on a well-groomed slope and overcomes a drop of 250 metres. The Burglift in Stans, however, has its HOTZONE.TV Snowpark and provides the possibility to practise night-time skiing twice a week. And finally there’s also the village of Kolsassberg with its two T-bar lifts. In the Kellerjoch skiing area the “Tyrol Snow Card” is valid!
