Skiing and much more!

Ötztal is a dream destination for skiers. But did you know there’s much more to explore beyond the slopes?

The best holidays are those packed with variety. That’s why we’ve put together three winter activities for non-skiers. Keep reading to discover what they are!

Tobogganing: snowy thrills for everyone
Tobogganing is a nostalgic winter activity that brings childhood memories to life – and in Ötztal, the fun reaches a whole new level. With 15 toboggan runs spanning 50 kilometres, you can zoom through the breathtaking, snow-covered landscape in a way you could only dream of as a kid. Whether you reach the start with a scenic winter hike or a relaxing cable car ride, night tobogganing in Sölden, Gurgl, or Vent is an epic experience for the whole family. Don’t have your own toboggan? No worries! You can hire one on site.

Ice skating: elegance on ice
Dreaming of gliding gracefully across the ice? Every major village in Ötztal has an ice rink, and many of them are beautifully floodlit for evening skaters! Channel your inner Oksana Baiul or Dorothy Hamill with some graceful pirouettes – or, if elegance isn’t your style, try the thrilling team sport of Bavarian curling. For a truly magical experience, head to Lake Piburger, where a natural ice rink awaits. It’s a picturesque setting for unforgettable moments.

Carriage rides: winter charm at its finest
Experience the magic of winter with a charming carriage ride through a snow-covered wonderland – it’s like stepping straight into a fairy tale. Snuggle up warmly behind the majestic horses and take in the breathtaking landscape. Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape for two or a delightful outing for the whole family, organisers in Längenfeld, Vent, Oetz, and Niederthai are ready to make your winter dream come true.

And finally, the best part. After all these adventures, it’s time to unwind: enjoy the soothing warmth of our sauna, take a dip in the pool, and savour a delicious meal. It’s the perfect way to round off your day and make your ski holiday in Ötztal truly unforgettable – whether on or off the slopes!
