Winter holidays in the Ötztal valley
Ötztal is considered "the highlight of Tirol” for good reason. The valley boasts two of the most famous and snow-secure ski resorts of the Alps, Sölden and Obergurgl-Hochgurgl. Two glacier ski resorts and 3 three-thousand-metre peaks with breathtaking viewing platforms make Sölden so unique. Thanks to efficient feeder lifts, skiers are quickly distributed throughout the extensive ski resorts.
Even if the 363 kilometres of slopes in the Ötztal valley are more than enough to fill your busy schedule: Changing your perspective is still worthwhile from time to time. The Längenfeld holiday region in the Ötztal valley boasts so many charming activities including tobogganing, ski touring, ice skating and winter and snowshoe hiking. Are you bold enough to climb a frozen waterfall?

Endurance athletes are in their element in the heart of the Ötztal valley. In the valley basin, there is an approx. 60-km cross-country ski trail network for both "classic" and “skating” fans. Signposted running routes up to higher altitudes offer ideal training opportunities for runners.
Small-scale, festive events during Advent get people in the mood for Christmas Eve. Don’t miss out on the Christmas market, St. Nicholas' parade and the Krampus procession. Tip for museum fans: the Naturparkhaus (Nature Park House) with its multimedia exhibition is well worth a visit!
