Kühtai Ski Holidays

“High and snow-sure, ski in-ski out Hotels with a super short transfer”

At 2,020 metres, Kühtai is Austria’s highest ski resort village with guaranteed snow-sure skiing from early December through to late April. Just 35 kilometres from Innsbruck with an airport transfer time of around 45 minutes, it’s the perfect choice for a short ski break and families and confident intermediates will love the relaxed atmosphere and excellent runs.

Compact and convenient, Kühtai offers a clutch of ski-in, ski-out hotels and lifts right on your doorstep. The local ski area features 47 km of varied pistes with skiing up to 2,520 metres while the lift pass also covers nearby HochOetz, adding a further 41 km of slopes for a combined 88 kilometres of skiing. With its easy access and high altitude, Kühtai is a hidden gem for a snow-sure Austrian ski holiday.

On the Mountain 

Thanks to the altitude, you can expect excellent snow conditions throughout the winter season and there are 27 modern lifts across the Kühtai-Hochoetz Ski Area.

Novice children are especially well catered for with nursery lifts and magic carpet lifts at the foot of the mountains within easy walking distance of your accommodation. The rest of the ski area is best suited to good intermediates and above with a network of reds and easy blacks and a freestyle snowpark (KPark).

Advanced skiers will find plenty of freeride terrain around the mountain (it is rarely busy here) and there are some good ski touring options too.

Off the Mountain 

Kühtai is fairly low-key during the week - although you can expect more day-trippers at the weekend - and there is, of course, the obligatory umbrella bar for a spot of apres-ski. Other than this, entertainment tends to be mainly Hotel-based with ‘Bar 2020’ catering for the later, weekend crowd. Hotels have excellent pool and wellness areas and there is weekly night skiing and tobogganing on offer.
