Ski touring in the Ahrntal

For every step and every pace | Hidden gem

The Ahrntal is already a firm favourite among ski tourers – among locals it remains a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered. Immense white slopes, absolute silence and the feeling of standing alone on a summit looking out across the landscape.
