The skiing area Gitschberg Jochtal is easily reachable thanks to 6 cable cars, 3 chairlifts and 6 ski tows. This area delights you with an all-round view of the surrounding peaks. Here you can have fun on more than 50 km of slopes, many of which are sufficiently large to be suitable for beginners too. It is possible to take skiing and snowboarding lessons on site.

Along the ski slopes you can take a break and taste delicious local food in the several refreshment points. After a long day on the slopes you can wrap it up with a refreshing drink in good company in one of the Après-Ski pubs of the area. The most popular ones are the Mühle pub in Valles and the Schlupfe pub in Maranza.

The Gitschberg-Jochtal skiing region also boasts a sledge run and a Funpark. Thanks to the shuttle service which takes you directly back to the valley station, you never have to worry about finding a parking space for your car.
