Ski area Horsehead
With its predominantly easy and moderately difficult pistes, the ski area is particularly popular with leisure skiers. The descents, which mostly run below the tree line, are usually pleasantly wide. Families appreciate the children's ski school, which has been awarded gold. Those who want to venture into the deep powder snow will find 5 km of ski routes on the Rosskopf. The ski area is also home to Italy's longest snow-covered toboggan run at 9.6 km. It starts at the guesthouse below the 3-seater chair lift and leads to the valley station of the gondola lift.
With the "South Tyrolean Wipptal" lift pass, the sunny slopes of Rosskopf, Ratschings-Jaufen and Ladurns with a total of 66 kilometres of piste are at your disposal.
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 Horsehead
But away from the pistes, the picturesque little town has more to offer than just culinary delights and shopping. For example, the longest snow-covered and floodlit toboggan run in Italy: the toboggan run on the Rosskopf has already been named test winner by the ADAC. On the other hand, guests can venture onto the ice in the ice rink. Less speedy but all the more romantic are the winter hiking trails around the town. And those who want to give their muscles a break can pamper themselves in the modern "Balneum" bathing world - in a sauna and wellness landscape covering 1,120 square metres.
Snowpark Horsehead: Snowpark
Unfortunately, there is no snowpark in the Rosskopf ski area. But just a few kilometres away, in the Ratschings-Jaufen ski area, the Ratschings fun park invites you to enjoy shredding fun. The area is located right next to the Enzian 4-seater chair lift and is considered a sporting highlight in the ski area. The TÜV-certified obstacles were designed by the renowned QParks team and offer a set-up for every skill level. A total of 17 different elements await beginners and pros.
