Питцталь

Pitztal Essentials

The Pitztal valley in the Ötztal Alps is defined by high-altitude terrain and dramatic glacial landscapes. It features the Wildspitze, North Tyrol's highest peak at 3,770 meters, and the Mittelbergferner, the region's second-largest glacier. Notable sites include the Rifflsee, the largest lake in the Ötztal Alps, and historic alpine bases like the Taschachhaus and Braunschweiger Hütte, which serve as key stops on the E5 long-distance trail. The area is anchored by the Pitztal Glacier ski resort, Austria’s highest, and the panoramic BIG3 viewpoints.
