15 kilometres from the Rettenbachferner into the valley, around 2,000 vertical metres in one go. This is the longest piste in Austria. If you only want a "short" descent, you should plan some time. In Sölden, there are also three mountains over 3,000 metres in the ski area. The glacier location ensures an early start to the season and usually stable snow conditions until spring.
Length: 15 km | vertical metres: approx. 2,000 m
At 13.5 kilometres, the Glungezer offers the second longest descent in Tyrol. From the Schartenkogel, you descend 1,354 metres in altitude on natural snow to Tulfes. If the snow conditions are right, you can enjoy a long valley descent that is rarely found anywhere else. Long and for really lucky skiers!
Length 13.5 km | difference in altitude 1,354 m
12 kilometres lead from the high alpine terrain to the Zillertal. Cyclable in one go, yes. But you can also take a break along the way and try out one of the huts you pass. The Hintertux Glacier is part of the Zillertal 3000 ski and glacier world and the starting point of the famous glacier circuit: 60 km of runs of all levels of difficulty and over 15,000 metres of altitude. Plus the longest ski season in Austria.
Length: approx. 12 km | vertical metres: approx. 1,750 m
The ski route from the Öfelerjoch is the longest descent in the Hochzillertal: 11 kilometres and 1,760 vertical metres to Aschau, after which the ski bus takes you back to the ski area in around 5 minutes. If you prefer the piste to the ski route: alternatively, the Stephan-Eberharter-Goldpiste to Kaltenbach offers an 8-kilometre-long, continuous descent down to the valley. If you still have energy afterwards: the winter via ferrata starts at the Wimbachkopf. Please only with suitable equipment.
Length: approx. 11 km | metres in altitude: approx. 1,700 m
11 kilometres lead from the Greitspitze to Ischgl. The descent starts at the highest point of the Silvretta Arena and runs straight down into the valley. At the top of the Greitspitze, you could also turn off to Samnaun. The Silvretta Arena connects Austria and Switzerland and also includes the famous smugglers' circuit with around 60 kilometres and over 13,000 metres in altitude. Smuggling used to take place here, but is now prevented by a customs station in the centre of the ski area.
Length: approx. 11 km | vertical metres: approx. 1,500 m
11 kilometres and 1,700 vertical metres lead from the Adler Lounge at 2,621 metres into the valley to Matrei. Since the extension and technical snowmaking, the descent can be travelled all the way down to the valley. On the way, the view opens up to the Großglockner and around 60 other three-thousand metre peaks. Give us more of them!
Length: approx. 11 km | metres in altitude: approx. 1,700 m
The ridge descent in the Sillian-Hochpustertal ski centre leads from Thurntaler down to Sillian. At around 11 kilometres, it is the longest descent in the ski area and covers around 1,300 metres in altitude. The red piste runs evenly down into the valley and keeps you going at all times. At the bottom, you can really feel the 11 kilometres in your legs.
Length: approx. 11 km | vertical metres: approx. 1,300 m
In Austria's largest glacier ski area, there is a 10-kilometre-long valley run from the Wildspitz mountain station at over 3,200 metres down to the valley. The route connects several sections and leads over pistes, ski routes and ski paths to the valley station. On the Stubai Glacier, the season extends well into winter and often beyond. The flowers are already in bloom below, while the white mountains still beckon above. Really good, we would say!
Length: approx. 10 km | metres in altitude: approx. 1,500 m
The HöhenFresser tour takes you from the Übergangsjoch at 2,500 metres to Zell am Ziller: around 10 kilometres and 1,920 metres in altitude. You start at the top on red pistes, further down it gets much more sporty. With black sections at the end, the descent into the valley is a real challenge, especially if you do it without a break. In the end, one thing remains above all: the joy of skiing downhill.
Length: approx. 10 km | metres in altitude: approx. 1,900 m
Almost 10 kilometres of blue pistes, wide slopes, hardly any steep sections: the Blueline XXL in the Tiroler Zugspitz Arena is one of the longest blue runs in Austria. From the mountain station at Grubigstein, it descends around 1,000 metres in altitude to Lermoos. Ideal for families and anyone who wants to make long turns. And beginners who start at the top usually arrive at the bottom with significantly more ability than they started with.
Length: approx. 10 km | vertical metres: approx. 1,000 m
