Ski area Ski region Kühtai - Hochoetz

Just above the resort Oetz, located at the entrance to the homonymous valley, the ski area Hochoetz stretches over 1,410 - 2,272 m. With the "Ski region Hochoetz-Kühtai" lift pass you can also access the bordering ski area of Kühtai (1,938 - 2,520) and thereby a total of 84.4 km of piste.

With the modern Acherkogel lift you can reach the mountain station at 2,200 m altitude within only 8 minutes. Freshly prepared pistes weave through lovely winter forests of the Hochoetz ski area (36 km of piste) and ensure unforgettable holiday impressions. With mainly blue and red runs on offer as well as 15 cable cars and lifts, the ski area presents itself well-manageable and therefore especially family-friendly. Wonderful valley runs open up from the Hochoetz middle station (the longest being 2,8 km) or from the Brunnerkopf right down to the Ochsengarten, located in a side valley. Well appreciated is also the family route "Kühtaile".

The youngest skiers can enjoy themselves in the Kids Land in Hochoetz. During the "Happy Family Weeks" (14/12/2019 - 21/12/2019, 11/01/2020 - 01/02/2020, and 14/03/2020 - 28/03/2020), a free 5 day ski course or 5 days of child-care in the Hochoetz ski kindergarten is offered for all children born in 2014 or later (ID required, children need to be toilet-trained!), that are on a holiday of 7 nights or longer. More information is available in the resort.

The ski area Oetz/Hochoetz was voted the best family and children's ski area in 2014. The area's child friendliness, the many childcare services for children from 2 years in kindergartens and the 3 children's parks, as well as the "Happy Family Weeks" were especially underlined.

Those who still cannot get enough can look forward to approx. 356 km of perfectly prepared pistes an 90 modern lift systems in the entire Oetz valley with the "Ötztaler Superskipass" (see ski region).

Snowpark: Snowpark K-Park Kühtai Oetz

The varied KPark Kühtai consists of four areas: The FreeStyle Area was moved to the Wiesenberg cable car, along with the newly designed SlopeStyle, and offers a lot of variety with many different obstacles. The SuperPipe is a thriller with a height of more than 6 m, a length of 160 m as well as a width of 21 m. It is therefore one of only two SuperPipes that exist in Austria, Italy and Germany! The SnowCross Area gets the pulse racing for the adrenalin junkies looking for speedy thrills alongside smaller obstacles. The KidsPark, which is also ideal for beginners, is located directly on the Sonnen lift and offers great conditions for beginners. This area is a true paradise and is freshly shaped every day, guaranteeing a lot of variety and safe jumps.

The WIDI Funpark Hochoetz in the Balbachtal offers further fun, with medium and beginner kickers, flatboxes, wave track, beginner rail as well as a steep curve, which are suitable for beginners as well as more advanced freestylers.
