In winter, generally from November to the end of May (depending on weather conditions), the Stilfser Joch Pass is closed for safety reasons and avalanche risk due to heavy snowfall.
This does not mean, however, that there is a lack of movement! The ski area on the South Tyrolean side of the glacier at the Stilfser Joch Pass, stretching all the way to Monte Cristallo, between Vinschgau, Bormio and Val Müstair, is simply a paradise for skiers and winter sports enthusiasts.
Skiers have more than 20 kilometres of pistes, modern lifts and two high-altitude cross-country trails at their disposal. The ski resort guarantees snow for six months of the year and is also chosen by professional athletes for their training.
