Austria's highest located winter sports resort is located at 2,020 m and is only approx. 30 km from Innsbruck. Thanks to the altitude you can expect perfect snow conditions from December until the beginning of May and if the snow line goes low enough you can also ski down to accommodation or even start your skiing day directly in front of the door. The discovery of this resort as a ski station actually occurred more than 100 years ago. Today the resort presents itself as cosy village with hotel and apartment houses, and diverse offer of apres ski facilities.
SkiIn the ski area Kühtai you can enjoy a total of 44 km of wonderfully prepared pistes, accessible via 13 modern lifts, including an 8-person gondola and 3 chair lifts with weather protection hoods. Thanks to it's unique location at 2,020 m perfect snow conditions until spring are not seldom here. If the snow level is low enough you can most likely ski right down to the door of your accommodation.
The Kühtai is known as a family-friendly resort and ski area, offering a good mixture of easy and intermediate, and a few difficult pistes. More experienced skiers also have the chance to test their skills on secured deep powder snow areas.

Twice per week you can enjoy skiing into the evening hours. On Wednesdays and Saturdays the flood lights are turned on at the HochAlter lift to make the pistes accessible until 22:30.
