Thanks to the high Alpine location of the ski areas (just as Ötztal itself) and the latest snow-making technologies, all 6 ski areas are extremely snow-reliable. The Hochoetz-Kühtai ski region is located at around 2000 meters above sea level, Niederthai at approximately 1500 meters above sea level, and Gries at over 1500 meters above sea level. The deeper you go into the valley, the higher are the ski mountains! The Sölden ski resort stretches between 1350 and over 3340 meters, including two glacier ski mountains. The idyllic ski village of Vent is located at 1900 meters and the Gurgl ski resort - 1800 m to 3080 m - is one of the most snow-sure winter ski areas in Austria.
