Welcome back on the blog and to another ‘Winter Sports in the Alps’ blog post. This week, we’re headed to another amazing Tyrolean valley: the Pitztal. Here, you can find great skiing areas, and one of them is the Hochzeiger, which I’ll bring you closer to today. Buckle up and let’s get right into it!

From the ‘Jewel of the Alps’ to the ‘white roof’ of Innsbruck - we’ve had it all. So this week, it’s time to talk about the ‘Diamond of the Alps’. One look at that picture and you know where this name comes from, so let’s start right into talking about the ski resort of Obergurgl-Hochgurgl, hidden deep in the Ötztal valley.

The last weeks, weather has been crazy and in some parts of Tyrol, it actually snowed, just shortly before May began. When there were finally two short days of sun after weeks of rain, I decided to make the most of my free Thursday and went on a little walk along the Möserer See.
