Winter activities away from the ski slopes

Your cheeks turn red, your eyes marvel at what's all around you and your face radiates with joy while snowshoe hiking in Kühtai. Enthusiasm knows no bounds when you hike step by step through the unspoilt nature. Pure nature and absolute serenity. Only the snow crunches under your feet. And the best thing about it: snowshoe hiking can be done by anyone - whether athletic or otherwise. The ski and mountain schools in Kühtai also offer guided snowshoe hikes.

The winter wonderland of Kühtai can also be explored on foot along some amazingly beautiful trails: 

• The hiking path to the Zirmbach is a leisurely, family-friendly route. It starts at the tourist information office and runs along a small track from the Hoch-Alter car park towards the baby lift.
• The Kaiser-Franz-Josefsweg begins at the Sonnenlift below the underpass and leads through a beautiful Swiss stone pine forest towards Ötz.
• The Knappenweg begins by the Kühtai fire station and leads slightly uphill through the ski slope tunnel. You can continue your hike from here to the Graf-Ferdinand-Haus and end it with a fun toboggan run.

Ready, steady, action – is the name of the game when you head down into the valley on a toboggan!
A family-friendly toboggan run starts by the Graf-Ferdinand-Haus, which can be reached from the valley station of the Drei-Seen-Bahn lift after an approx. 50-minute ascent. After taking a leisurely refreshment break at the hut, you can rent a toboggan on site for a fee and begin your tobogganing adventure right away. Those who like being romantic can also go tobogganing in the moonlight. The toboggan run is illuminated until midnight.

Head off up to the summit, which sparkles so beautifully in the sun! Standing on top, feeling the fascination of the mountain environment all over your body and then making your tracks in the virgin snow. Swing by swing. Kühtai is a ski touring paradise. The Sulzkogel is a mountain with many highlights and an altitude of 3,016 metres. There is an easier ski tour up to the Pirchkogel (2,828 m). Two shorter tours can be made to the Schafzoll at 2,394 m and the Vordere Karlesspitze (2,569 m). The ski schools offer basic courses including avalanche awareness for all those who like being out in the open.

Have you always wanted to swap your carving skis for elegant cross-country skis? You will find the perfect conditions for this winter sport at 2,000 metres above sea level, where endurance training and nature experiences are combined like no other. You will glide along 11 kilometres of perfectly prepared tracks through the magnificent Alpine backdrop. The Bilgeri trail is suitable for beginners and the Maximilian and Claudia trails for advanced skiers. The cross-country ski trails can be accessed free of charge.

A gleaming family experience on the ice! Ice skating captivates the whole family and is something different to look forward to during your skiing holiday. There is an ice rink right next to the Hotel Jagdschloss, which can be used free of charge. Ice skates can be rented on site. Ice-stick shooting is offered on request.
