The Hochpustertaler Bergbahnen lift facilities take you into the ski center Sillian, where 22.5 km of ski slopes stretch to Sillian and the Villgratental valley. One of them is the Kammabfahrt, which overcomes a drop of 1,300 m, representing the longest ski run of the area. And if you want to try your first swings, the Hochpustertal Ski School helps you with the right technique.
