Ski area Gitschberg Jochtal
The "Gitschberg Jochtal-Brixen" lift pass offers skiing fun and variety in the Brixen-Plose and Gitschberg Jochtal ski areas on a total of 98 kilometres of piste. With 22 lifts, the varied ski region (948 - 2,510 m) can be explored on skis.
Mühlbach (772 m) is located right next to the Gitschberg Jochtal ski area, where you can discover almost 54 kilometres of pistes with 15 lift systems. The lift network consists of the Gitschberg ski area (2,510 m) above Meransen and the Jochtal ski area (up to 2,100 m) near Vals. From Tuesday to Saturday, there is always a charming piste guide on the slopes, the "Cavaliera". Wearing a tailcoat and top hat, she immediately stands out and has the best tips and assistance for skiers. In addition, "La Cavaliera" offers various special activities that guests can take part in free of charge during the week. Three ski schools, one of which has been awarded the Golden Children's Ski School Seal of Quality, as well as the Kinderland in Meransen, the Kinderwelt at the Nesselbahn and the Gimmy Fun Ride in Jochtal also make the ski area extremely family-friendly. On the Gitschberg, a 360° panoramic platform also offers a fantastic view of the main Alpine ridge, the Zillertal, Stubai and Ötztal Alps and up to 500 Dolomite peaks.
The town's local mountain, the Plose, is only approx. 7 km from Brixen, where you can ski at an altitude of 1,060 to 2,505 metres and enjoy a fantastic view of the Dolomites. The clearly laid out ski area with a total of 7 lifts and around 44 kilometres of piste is ideal for families. Children can romp around on the practice slope at the Randötschlift or in the Kinderland, while adults can let off steam on the longest groomed descent in South Tyrol, the Trametsch. It is 9 km long and covers more than 1,400 metres in altitude. In addition to great pistes and rustic hut magic, plenty of fun awaits winter sports enthusiasts on the Plose. Fast skiers can have their speed measured at the Plose Speed Check. The measuring station is located directly opposite the mountain station of the Schönboden lift.
The upgrade to the "Dolomiti Superski" ski pass also allows you to ski in 12 ski areas with a total of around 1,200 kilometres of piste (see ski region).

Rules of conduct on ski pistes in Italy
To ensure safety on the ski slopes in Italy, stricter safety regulations have been in force since 2022. In order to use the ski areas, everyone must have liability insurance that covers damage to third parties. It will also be possible to take out this insurance on site for individual days. Drunken skiing is prohibited and punishable by heavy fines, with a maximum of 0.5 mg of alcohol per litre of blood. To reduce the risk of injury, helmets are also compulsory for all minors when skiing, snowboarding or tobogganing.
Après ski Gitschberg Jochtal
Both on the alpine pastures in the ski area and at the valley stations in Meransen and Vals, winter sports enthusiasts can choose from various après ski bars after a day on the piste. With classic-style après ski hits and occasional live music, the last swing of the day is rung in here. Alternatively, the Max discotheque in nearby Brixen is a great place to party.
For those who would rather just have a nightcap and end the evening in a cosy or sporty way, Mühlbach offers plenty of space for activities. A relaxing afternoon in the café on the market square, a round on the ice skating rink or a hike on the surrounding hills offer great alternatives. The reliability of snow in the high valley is criss-crossed by winter hiking trails and wonderful routes for snowshoe hikers. There is also plenty of tobogganing fun: there are four toboggan runs in the ski area, including a 3 km descent at the popular Fane-Alm at the end of the valley near Vals. In bad weather, we recommend a visit to the "AlpinPool" adventure bath in Meransen.
