Pitztal Day Tours 2

Pitztal might be one of Austria's smaller and lesser-known resorts, but we believe it is a hidden treasure with untapped potential. It is known for quiet slopes and delivering great snow for day touring and off piste sections. This trip will be focussed on day touring and will include climbing to access the untouched off piste terrain.

ON SNOW EXPERIENCE

The holiday includes six full days with mountain guides. This holiday is for Advanced (Purple) and Expert (Gold) Off Piste skiers. If you are unsure of your ski profile, please see our Ski Profile Page. Groups will be organised based on ski level, and there will be up to 6/7 members in each group. At the end of the week you will receive an updated grading from your Ski Club Rep.

ACCOMMODATION

You'll be staying at the Hotel Sonnblick 4*, a great hotel located in the Pitztal Valley and the ideal base from which to explore the ski touring terrain each day. You will be staying on a half board basis.

This holiday is on a twin share basis. If you are a solo traveler, then you will be placed in a room with someone of the same gender. Single rooms may be available upon request. These are subject to our hotel room allowance. If you require a single room, please book early to avoid disappointment.

RESORT

Pitztal is set in a very high, snowsure valley, that has always provided excellent conditions, even in some testing winters.The Pitztal valley is made up of several smaller resorts nestled below a magnificent glacier. The snow reliability, especially on the glacier and the high altitude touring slopes, is unbeatable. You'll find incredible views by taking the Wildspitzbahn lift which zips you up to the Hinterer Burnnenkogel to an eye-watering 3440m. From there you can enjoy a coffee at the café’s high-altitude sun terrace. For more information, please visit the the Pitztal Resort Guide.

EQUIPMENT

This is an exploration holiday and you will require ski touring kit. If you require ski hire, Intersport Huter is the closest shop to the hotel.

If you own your own ski touring equipment, then it may be worth taking this with you on your trip. If you do not own your own kit, then this can normally be easily rented in resort. However, please be aware of the cost of hiring this equipment in resort.
