Best conditions for Freeriders at Pitztal Glacier
Freeride Eldorado Pitztal Glacier
As soon as the first snowfalls occur in lower regions, passionate freeriders literally "rock" the pristine slopes of Pitztal Glacier. Thanks to the unrivaled Alpine location of Hinterer Brunnenkogel at 3440 meters above sea level, Tirol's and Austria's highest Glacier Ski Area offers natural snow and powder slopes in abundance already in the early winter months.
When the "white gold" called snow reaches the lower valley, real glacier aficionados can enjoy skiing pleasures of a very different kind:
The Taschachferner top-to-bottom ski run leads past mighty icefalls and glacier moraines from Mittelbergjoch through the Alpine Taschachtal side valley to the Gletscherexpress base station. You are strongly recommended to enlist a certified local mountain / ski guide for this exceptional but quite risky tour. Guided downhill adventures are available at the Bergführerbüro Pitztal / Mountain Guide Office or at the Ski School's Freeride Center Pitztal

Freeriding at the Pitztal Glacier
Over many years, the downhill stretch from 3,173-meter tall Mittagskogel at the rear end of the valley has been a true insider tip. Since the world's probably toughest Freeride Race - Pitztal Wild Face - is held here, more and more deep powder snow aficionados have come to Pitztal. The final part of the Pitztal Wild Face race course covers more than 1,500 altitude meters, but it's far not the only run made to measure for powder snow junkies in Pitztal: numerous magnificent lines are spread all over the ski region - just like the "Schweizer Abfahrt" downhill run with wide open slopes next to Mittelbergbahn lift or steep troughs next to the piste of Hinterer Brunnenkogel. Action-packed slopes and faces also await you in the Rifflsee Ski Area boasting hidden tree runs at Muttenkopf ski mountain. Both beginners and real experts appreciate the signposted Hirschtal variant route offering countless fabulous downhill stretches.
