Kühtai ski resort is located in between the Ötztal and the Stubai mountain ranges and is just 35km from Innsbruck. Boasting doorstep skiing, a snow-sure record and breath-taking scenery, it's one of the highest ski resorts in Austria.
This relatively unknown, small and quiet ski resort is one of Austria’s best-hidden gems. A modern gondola and other fast chairlifts make it easy and efficient to reach a variety of runs from cruising blues to token blacks.
