A well-balanced mix of blue, red and black ski runs provides thrilling winter sports action right at the entrance to Ötztal. Beginners can practice best on the slopes no. 2 in the lower area of Ötzilift piste, Kühtaile (no. 6) or on the slope no. 11 (Balbachlift). A particularly beautiful mountain panorama awaits you on the Brunnenkopf slope (no. 2) while you can get really up to speed on the steepest slopes of Hochoetz, runs no. 8 (Mohrenkopflift) and no. 12 (Wetterkreuzbahn). The longest ski run down from Brunnenkopfbahn top station is about five kilometers and takes you via the middle station down to the base station of Acherkogelbahn mountain gondola - section II.
