Glaciers are natural phenomena which have fascinated humans for millennia with their shimmering world of eternal ice. The Pitztal Glacier near the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten is a fine example and one of the most impressive glaciers in Tyrol. During the winter months it has 40 kilometres of ski pistes, while in summer visitors have the opportunity to hike on the glacier and explore its mysterious ice caves.
Snowsure conditions from September until May and spectacular views of the mountains, including the mighty Wildspitze (3,774m), make glacier skiing an unforgettable experience.
Wintersports enthusiasts can choose between downhill, freeriding, freestyle and cross-country skiing. A free ski bus gives skiers and boarders quick and easy access to the slopes.
The ideal location of the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten next to the Rifflseebahn cable car makes it an ideal base camp for skiers and snowboarders in winter. From December until April it is possible to ski or board all the way down to the hotel.
Mountaineering, hiking and climbing are some of the most popular outdoor activities on the Pitztal Glacier during the summer months. Expeditions to the glacier tongue, rocky moraines and ice caves transport you to a fascinating alternative world of snow and ice.
At the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten we have a qualified ski and mountain guide who will be happy to tell you about the best off-piste skiing and accompany you onto the glacier.
Every Wednesday and Friday we offer guided hikes in the company of a mountain guide to the summit of the Wildspitze, at 3774 metres the highest mountain in North Tyrol.
Cost per person: 1 pers. 350€ | 2 pers. 180€ | 3 pers. 140€ | 4 pers. 120€ | 5 and more pers. 100€
