Kühtai

The ski resort Kühtai is located in the Sellraintal (Austria, Tyrol (Tirol), Innsbruck and its holiday villages). For skiing and snowboarding, there are 41 km of slopes available. 11 lifts transport the guests. The winter sports area is situated between the elevations of 1,938 and 2,520 m.

At Austria’s highest ski village at 2020 m above sea level, there is a huge winter program. Perfectly prepared slopes, the most modern lifts, a snowboard funpark, as well as cozy bars, restaurants and ski huts – everything is as it should be! And the best part: the sunny and snowy fun lasts from December until well into spring.

Has the climate crisis and the higher temperatures affected snow conditions in Kühtai?
Look at the statistics and graph of historical snow depths for the ski resort.
For the last 5 years, week 9 has been the most insecure with 112 cm snow depth on average in Kühtai.
The measurement is made as an average of the snow depth at the highest and lowest point of the mountain.

A collection of comfortable hotels beside a high road pass only 25km from Innsbruck – higher than equally snow-sure Obergurgl or Obertauern, but cheaper than either. Covered also by the standard Innsbruck pass. A modern gondola, three fast quads and a handful of drags serve red cruisers of about 500m vertical on either side of the road, plus some token black runs; not ideal for novices – few easy blues to graduate to. Very quiet in the week, but liable to weekend crowds if lower resorts around Innsbruck are short of snow. Limited mountain huts. Quiet in the evening, but for its size a reasonable selection of hotels.
