Active day and night on the Hochwurzen

A varied winter day awaits you on the Hochwurzen - regardless of whether you prefer skiing, tobogganing or winter hiking.

  • Long descents: wide, perfectly groomed pistes ensure unforgettable skiing moments - ideal for all those who like it smooth and enjoyable.
  • Tobogganing fun over 7 kilometers: The Hochwurzen toboggan run is one of the longest in the region and guarantees pure action - even at night!
  • Funslope for an extra kick: Fancy a bit of variety? The Funslope with waves, curves and small obstacles is fun for young and old.
  • Night skiing under floodlights: If the day is not enough for you, experience the special atmosphere of night skiing. Freshly groomed slopes and floodlights ensure a unique experience under the stars.

Ski tours

Our lifts and cable cars can also be exchanged for climbing skins to enjoy a unique nature experience: Making tracks in untouched snow. Ski touring and piste walking have become increasingly popular on our mountains. On the Hochwurzen, a special ascent trail therefore awaits you, leading through varied sections of piste and forest to the summit station of the Hochwurzen summit lift or to the summit of the Kleine Hochwurzen.
