About the area

Axamer Lizum – Muttereralm is mostly intermediate terrain: of about 37 km of pistes, 20 km are red, while green and blue runs make up 28 % (11 km). Beginners can start here with reservations — three magic carpets and nine short easy runs sit next to lift bases — but 18 % of the marked terrain is black, expert or freeride. Families get the same mixed verdict: the carpets and four gondola or cable-car lifts mean small children avoid chairlift loading, though the rest is not gentle. Committed experts will find it thin: 7 km of black, expert and freeride combined, including 2 km of marked freeride.

The area spans 892 m to 2,333 m, a vertical of 1,068 m, with the longest run measuring 3,326 m — one continuous descent covers the full drop. Eighteen lifts serve the two sectors: four gondolas, three funiculars, four chairlifts, two T-bars, two platters and three carpets, so higher, snow-surer slopes are reached without long link-ups.
