Val Senales (Schnalstal) Ski Area

The glacier skiing area with snow guarantee in South Tyrol

This glacier ski area, situated in the pristine Val Senales, offers wide runs ranging up to an altitude of 3,200 metres. Winter sports enthusiasts will find a varied ski area here set against a truly unique landscape.

Top ski athletes from all around the world come to the Val Senales glacier, which is near the site where Ötzi the Iceman was found, for ski training. The valley descent along the glacier is 8 km long in winter, and it takes only 6 minutes for skiers to return to the glacier on the cable car. In addition to varied ski slopes, Val Senales Ski Area offers a 3 km toboggan run, glacier cross-country trails with guaranteed snow coverage, and more than 300 km of signposted trails for winter hikers of all experience levels. Majestic summit goals, including Palla Bianco (Weißkugel) Peak towering at 3,738 metres above sea level, make for a true nature paradise for snowshoe hikers and ski tourers. There are few ski touring areas in the Alps where you can reach so many three thousanders without long climbs as in Val Senales.

Please Note: Ski tourers may only use the specially designated route in the ski area!

  • leo-gurschler-steilhang
    The black-labeled run is a training track for slalom and giant slalom specialists, offering the international elite in Alpine skiing the possibility to complete challenging workouts at the Senales Valley glacier skiing area in early autumn. The total length of 550 meters can be covered with artificial snow when necessary. This results in an ideal, non-slip surface for professionals. But watch out: with a drop of 200 meters and an inclination of almost 60%, the Leo Gurschler ski slope is for experts only!
