With the mighty Weißkugel mountain, and many other three-thousand meter high mountains, the area around the Schnalskamm ridge is one of the finest ski areas in the Alps. The Schnalstal Glacier cable car shortens the ascent, and ski tourers can
travel up the mountains relatively easily and quickly.
Trained mountain guides are available to accompany winter sports lovers on
ski tours through the Oetztal Alps. They have tour suggestions and can lead tours to peaks off the beaten path. The two most important bases for ski touring, the
Similaunhütte mountain hut and the
Schöne Aussicht mountain hut, remain open until early May.
We recommend that you note the current weather and avalanche status before every ski tour. More information at
