A change of
mountain.
The Ötztal Super Skipass covers several local ski areas from three days. These are alternatives, not automatic additions to the itinerary; assess travel time and the value of the ski day before going.
Gurgl
112km of pistes, 25 lifts and an altitude range of approximately 1,800–3,030m. A credible alternative for a change of scenery, included with the Ötztal Super Skipass from three days. Published season: 19 Nov 2026–18 Apr 2027.
Official ski area ↗Hochoetz–Kühtai
More than 90km of pistes and 27 lifts across two connected areas, with a shuttle between Hochoetz and Kühtai listed every 15 minutes. Included in the Ötztal Super Skipass. Published season: 4 Dec 2026–11 Apr 2027.

LOCAL TRANSPORT
Leave the car
parked.
Guest Card & ski buses
Eligible overnight guests receive the Ötztal Guest Card, which includes winter public bus lines and ski buses. Confirm the card's issue and validity with the accommodation. Check the current winter timetable for the exact bus 320 connection and local ski-bus routes.
Mobility information ↗Bus 320 timetable ↗
Getting to Innsbruck
The standard public transport route is bus F from Innsbruck Airport to the main station, train to Ötztal Bahnhof and bus 320 to Sölden. A direct Ötztal Shuttle is bookable. The exact 2026/27 winter timetable and transfer arrangements still need confirming.
Ötztal Shuttle ↗HIGH-ALTITUDE CONDITIONS
One valley.
Different weather.
Do not use village weather as a proxy for glacier conditions. Compare several elevations and aspects before deciding where to ski.
Village
Useful for arrival conditions and valley weather, but not a reliable proxy for upper mountain temperature, wind or visibility.
Stabele & Giggijoch
Useful mid-mountain reference points for the main ski area. Compare temperature, wind and snow depth.
Tiefenbach & Rettenbach
High glacier stations. Wind and visibility here can differ substantially from the village and lower lifts.
Live mountain checks
Use several official weather stations alongside webcams and lift/piste status. For any terrain outside marked pistes, consult the current Tyrol avalanche bulletin and make conservative decisions.
