This typical Tyrolean village was the first 'ski village' in the entire valley. Oetz is a fairly large village, making it quite lively all year round. However, there are no stressful crowds. This is an ideal destination for families, and those looking for an authentic Austrian village.
Whilst most ski enthusiasts continue on to Sölden, Hochsölden and Obergurgl-Hochgurgl, you can enjoy a peaceful holiday in Oetz. The Acherkogelbahn departs just outside the village, and will drop you off in the Hochoetz ski area. Approximately 25 miles of slopes are waiting for you there, the largest part of which is advanced slopes.
At the beginning of Ötztal in Tyrol, surrounded by beautiful nature, lies the family-friendly ski region Ötz-Hochötz. Fast and modern lifts take you a few minutes from Ötz into a beautiful winter wonderland with panoramic views over the Ötztal.
The small, child-friendly ski area Ötz-Hochötz is part of the Ötztal. An eight-person gondola takes you from Ötz to Hochötz at 2020 metres in eight minutes. Because Hochötz mainly has red slopes and a few blue slopes, the area is ideal for intermediate skiers and very suitable for the whole family. Ötz-Hochötz means winter sports fun for the entire family!
