Easy ski tours and piste ski tours

Photo: Mario Zott, alpenvereinaktiv.com

This list is a selection of easy ski tours in Austria, Germany and South Tyrol that are suitable for beginners and occasional skiers. You will also find piste ski tours here. ATTENTION: some tours lead first on pistes and then into open terrain to the summit. Please exercise caution here, as you will then be leaving the secured ski area.

The list is constantly being expanded and updated. Especially in the winter of 2020/21, there may be constant changes and special features at the individual ski areas (opening, parking) due to corona. An example: in December 2020, the ski areas in Austria are closed until Christmas due to a government decree. If you are skiing in the ski area during this period, you will be in unsecured ski terrain with regard to the avalanche danger. The same applies to Bavaria and South Tyrol.

You can find an overview of easy ski tours and piste ski tours here: https://www.alpenvereinaktiv.com/de/page/einfache-skitouren-und-pistenskitouren/55199276/
