Pitztal Piste Map and Overview
Pitztal is one of Austria’s most snow‑sure and scenic ski and snowboard destinations, anchored by the Pitztal Glacier — the highest glacier ski area in Tirol with lifts reaching up to 3,440 m / 11,286 ft — and the neighbouring Rifflsee slopes for variety and learning terrain. The glacier offers long, panoramic runs with excellent snow coverage thanks to its altitude, and combined with Rifflsee’s welcome mix of gentle slopes and scenic views, you get a diverse day on the snow that caters to different skills and styles. Snowboarders also benefit from parks and freeride zones, while the dramatic high‑alpine setting makes every run feel epic.
What makes Pitztal extra special is its extended ski season and year‑round appeal. Thanks to glacial terrain, skiing often runs from early autumn into May, long after many other resorts have closed, and the connection between Pitztal Glacier and Rifflsee with one ski pass means you can enjoy both high alpine challenges and more sheltered slopes in one trip. Families and groups appreciate the variety — from long red cruisers and snow‑sure carving to easy blues and children’s areas — all served by a comfortable, modern lift network that gets you up and exploring quickly.

Are there options for cheaper ski passes?
Most visitors use the combined Pitztal Glacier & Rifflsee pass since it covers the full connected terrain. However, short‑stay or single‑area tickets might be available for just one of the two zones, but combining them generally gives better value and variety on the slopes.
