Hochzeiger, Austrian Alps

Hochzeiger: 5 things to know before you go

Austrian Alps, Austria 🇦🇹

Hochzeiger sits above Jerzens in the Pitztal, a 55 km family ski area between 1,450 m and 2,450 m with one of Tirol's friendliest children's offers.

1.Is the snow reliable in Hochzeiger?

Generally yes. From 1450 m at the base to 2450 m up top, the profile holds snow well across a normal winter (score 80/100).

2.Do you need a car, or can you ski in and out?

This is more of a valley base than a slopeside village, so expect a lift, train or shuttle to the snow each morning. Staying central, near the main lift, saves the most time.

3.How big is the ski area, and who is it for?

With 55 km of piste on 12 lifts, it is a mid-size area, easy to get to know over a long weekend. The terrain is balanced (0 green, 18 blue, 20 red, 5 black), which suits a mixed-level group skiing together.

4.What is the resort like?

Hochzeiger stands out for a family-friendly setup.

5.When is the best time to go?

The season usually runs Dec 7 to Apr 14 (about 18 weeks). For the most dependable cover, the deep-winter window of January to February is the safe bet. Conditions soften as spring arrives, so earlier in the window is the safer call.
