Kühtai ski resort

Thanks to its location at an altitude of 2,020 metres above sea level, Kühtai offers the ultimate skiing experience. The village, which is also called Kühtai, lies in the centre of the ski resort at 2,020 metres above sea level and the slopes all go up from there. This makes Kühtai the highest ski resort in Austria except for the glaciers. Kühtai is so snow-sure that you can ski there from December until Easter. Feeling the spring sunshine on your face and the snow crunching under your skis is a real treat. Another special feature for guests: the hotels are just a few steps from the slopes so you don't need to take a bus. For anyone not staying directly in Kühtai, there is a free ski bus.

Off the slopes

Kühtai is also home to lots of fun winter sports that take you away from the ski slopes. Cross-country ski trails, a toboggan run and snowshoeing add great variety to your holiday. If you want, you can even learn how to build an igloo in Kühtai.

Winter hiking programme

The area around Innsbruck is home to many winter hiking routes that take you through romantic winter landscapes, snowy forests and snowy mountain peaks.

In summer: hiking

Kühtai is very lively in winter but then transforms into a tranquil summer hiking destination. The village is surrounded by tours and trails that tempt visitors up into the high-alpine mountains. It is particularly beautiful when the alpine roses are in bloom and the mountain slopes are bathed in bright pink. Thanks to the high altitude, you can enjoy fresh, low-pollen air and pleasant temperatures when hiking in the area around Kühtai.
