Pitztal Glacier
A unique mountain experience, open to everyone
High above St. Leonhard, the Mittelbergferner glacier stretches between 2,685 m and 3,440 m. Its altitude makes it one of the most snow-sure ski areas in Europe, and in summer it opens as a hiking and mountaineering world of eternal ice.
You don't need to be a mountaineer to stand here. Modern cable cars carry every guest comfortably to the top, where the peaks of the main Alpine ridge feel close enough to touch. From the Landhaus, the glacier is an easy trip up the valley.

Everyone's glacier! For families & adventurers
Getting to the top
Two lifts to 3.440 metres
From Mittelberg, the ascent takes minutes, not hours, first through the mountain, then up the glacier face.
Gletscherexpress
An underground funicular that runs like a subway through a tunnel in the mountain, carrying you from the valley up to 2,840 m in around eight minutes.
Wildspitzbahn
Austria's highest cable car, with heated 8-person gondolas, climbs the final stretch to the Hinterer Brunnenkogel at 3,440 m in about six minutes.
Adventure on the glacier
More than 'just a view'
A handful of experiences make the glacier worth the trip, skier or not. Winter or summer.
Mountain guides
Pitztal's experienced guides will accompany you through the fantastic pistes and untouched deep-snow slopes.
Snowshoe hiking
Hike through the snow-covered Pitztal on snowshoes! Walk your own path or enjoy one of the guided tours.
Snowpark X Park
Under the motto XPLORE MORE, the snow park offers ideal conditions for ski touring, fun rides and shreddin throughout the winter season!
Freeride & Ski touring
Wide slopes, endless powder and untracked lines await freeriders and snowboarders in the Pitztal.
Family friendly
Wide glacier slopes and gentle practice areas, with children up to eight skiing free of charge when accompanied (Pitzi free pass).
Ice climbing
Not afraid of heights? The more than 45 icefalls offer unique opportunities for ice climbing! The Pitztal is a real paradise for climb lovers.
Your base in the valley
The glacier by day, the Landhaus by night
Landhaus Edelweiss lies in the heart of the Pitztal, a short trip from the glacier lifts and on the free ski bus route. A landhouse with character, personally run, where you return to warmth, good food and quiet after a day on the ice.
