Introductory ski tour in Kühtai with a mountain guide

Guided ski tour for beginners – every Wednesday

Would you like to get away from the slopes and take your first steps into ski touring?
Then the introductory ski tour in Kühtai is just the thing for you.

This guided beginner’s ski tour offers you a safe, supervised introduction to off-piste skiing – with no pressure to perform, but with professional guidance and honest feedback.

The introductory ski tour takes place every Wednesday and is organised in partnership with the Innsbruck – Kühtai Sellraintal Tourist Board.

A group of skiers ascends a snow-covered mountain slope under a partly cloudy sky. The landscape features majestic peaks and a pristine white blanket of snow. The skiers move in a staggered formation, creating tracks in the snow.
A person stands on a rocky peak in snowy mountains, raising their arms in celebration. Below, a scenic view of a turquoise lake surrounded by snow-covered terrain and distant peaks is visible under a clear blue sky.
Two people are skiing on a snow-covered landscape surrounded by pine trees and snow-capped mountains. The sky is clear and blue, indicating a sunny day. One skier is dressed in bright green, while the other wears a darker outfit.
