Ratschings ski area

In the Ratschings ski area, not far from Sterzing/Vipiteno, advanced skiers carve across 28 kilometers of perfectly groomed slopes, while little ones can practice skiing and playing in the snow at the “Kinderland”. Freestylers are drawn to the “Fun-slope”, featuring steep turns, tunnels, and small jumps. Skiers particularly love the north-facing slopes, offering firm snow conditions well into spring, as well as the forest descent. Above the mountain station, the forest opens up to feature a wide plain that invites you to winter hikes. The toboggan run is the perfect way for the whole family to descend into the valley together. Cross-country skiers will find a challenge on the "Platschjoch High-Altitude Trail," which runs diagonally through the gentle winter landscape on the main chain of the Alps and through spruce forests.
