Joyau cachéThe Pitztal Glacier is Austria's highest ski area - and standing at the top of the Wildspitzbahn cable car at 3,440m, with the Wildspitze (Tyrol's highest peak at 3,774m) rising just three kilometres to the south and over 50 three-thousanders stretching across the horizon, you understand why it carries the title 'The Highest of Tyrol.' On a clear day, you can see the peaks of four countries - Austria, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland - from the viewing platform beside Café 3440, the highest café in Austria. The glacier sits above St. Leonhard in the unspoilt Pitztal valley, one of Tyrol's quieter, more traditional valleys, and the combination of extreme altitude, excellent natural snow, and a September-to-May season makes this one of the most snow-reliable ski destinations in the Alps.
The Pitztal Glacier and the connected Rifflsee ski area together provide 68km of pistes between 1,740m and 3,440m, with a vertical drop of 1,700m. The glacier has 12 lifts including the modern Gletscherexpress funicular and the Wildspitzbahn gondola (the highest cable car in the Eastern Alps), while Rifflsee adds a further 6 lifts around the high-altitude lake at 2,880m. Twenty runs split across 5 blues, 13 reds, and 2 blacks, with a further 30km of freeride variant descents. The terrain is weighted towards intermediate and advanced skiing, with wide glacier runs that reward confident carving and natural snow conditions that are among the most consistent in Austria. The season runs from late September to early May, with early-season glacier training a major draw for national ski teams and professional athletes.
Beyond the glacier, the Pitztal valley retains an authentic Tyrolean character. St. Leonhard, Jerzens, and the smaller hamlets along the valley floor provide traditional accommodation, family-run hotels, and an unhurried mountain atmosphere. The Steinbockzentrum (ibex centre) in St. Leonhard celebrates the Alpine ibex that populate the high terrain, and the valley's mountain guides provide access to some of Tyrol's most spectacular high-altitude touring. The Dynafit Ski Touring Park on the glacier - the first secured ski touring park in Tyrol - offers three marked ascent routes of varying difficulty, making the Pitztal a serious destination for ski mountaineers. Innsbruck is around 90 minutes away by car.

Je réserve habituellement moi-même les vols, les transferts, l'hôtel, la location du matériel de ski et les forfaits ski, mais cette année j'ai utilisé WeSki pour un séjour à Morzine. C'était tellement plus simple. Tout a parfaitement fonctionné - les transferts sont arrivés à l'heure et il y avait beaucoup de retours d'information tout au long du processus, ce qui vous donne confiance que les vacances se dérouleront sans problème.
Un service vraiment utile qui est beaucoup plus facile à utiliser que d'autres sites "tout compris". Il comble parfaitement le fossé entre une agence de voyage et la réservation du séjour par vous-même en ligne. J'utiliserai WeSki chaque fois que j'irai au ski à partir de maintenant.
Nous avons réservé un séjour au ski de dernière minute à Morzine via WeSki. Nous avions envisagé de réserver le séjour nous-mêmes, mais nous n'avons pas pu trouver un prix aussi avantageux que celui proposé par WeSki. L'entreprise a été super et nous n'avons rencontré aucun problème du début à la fin. Je passerai certainement de nouveau par eux pour réserver un autre week-end au ski.
Une expérience fluide du début à la fin. Je passais des heures à essayer d'organiser un week-end et j'ai réussi à le faire avec WeSki en quelques minutes et pour le même prix que si je l'avais réservé moi-même. Le vol, le transfert et l'hébergement étaient tous comme prévu et nous n'avons rencontré aucun problème.
