Hochoetz-Kühtai
About the area
The terrain here is red-run country: 32.55 km of the 53.89 km on the map are red, so confident intermediates have by far the most to work with. Only 22% of the pistes are green or blue (12 km), and just 0.79 km of that is green, which is why we don't rate Hochoetz-Kühtai for beginners, even though 3 magic carpets cover first steps. Experts get 8 km of black/expert/freeride terrain (14%) — usable for a day, not the reason to book a week.
The two linked sectors are served by 26 lifts: 12 chairlifts, 3 gondolas, 4 platters, 3 T-bars, 1 rope tow and 3 magic carpets. Those gondolas matter for families with small children, since there is no chairlift loading involved. Skiing runs from 1407 m up to 2507 m, and there are 6.06 km of cross-country trails.
