Starting from the Hotel Ambet in Meransen with skis already strapped on, you are literally just a few meters away from the cable car valley station, leading to the Nesselhütte mountain hut at 2,100 m a.s.l. just beneath the summit of the Gitsch mountain in the heart of the Gitschberg Jochtal ski area.
Skiing is at its most enjoyable in the Pfunderer mountain. The wide slopes and relaxed atmosphere attract numerous skiers who appreciate the pristine, natural landscape. An aerial lift connects the ski areas of Meransen-Gitschberg and Jochtal-Vals with ski slopes totalling 50 km between them, at altitudes ranging from 1,300 m – 2,500 m a.s.l..
NEW Winter 2025-26: Family Highlights
This winter season, the Gitschberg Jochtal ski resort has many new opportunities in store for you. The new Gimmy Snowpark Jochtal playground in Vals is built on a large snow hill where children can enjoy slides, crawl through tunnels and explore a variety of play areas. Located directly at the valley station, it is the perfect place for a romp in the snow.
Another new highlight is located at the mountain station of the Nesselbahn lift: the Gimmy Snowpark Gitschberg playground features slides, crawl tunnels and climbing elements for playing and hiding, all arranged on a large snow hill right next to the lift.
For fun of the sporty variety, the new Kidscross course next to the Breiteben slope offers waves, hills and bends to help you improve your technique in a playful way. The popular Kidscross course in the Jochtal area also remains available this season.
Hit the new Wastl Huber Speed Check run to measure your speed and have your descent captured on camera – you can download your picture as a keepsake.
On the Skimovie slalom piste, you can have your descent fully recorded from start to finish. Every moment, from the countdown to the final turn, is captured on video for you to download and share.
Look forward to a winter full of play, fun and exciting experiences to share with the whole family.
Looking for an adrenaline rush? In that case, the Vals Fun Park might just be the right place. The Fun Park is where freestyle and snowboarding fans can put themselves through their paces with heart-pounding jumps or various stunts. Since the breath-taking surroundings cannot be ignored, visitors should stop by the viewing platforms on top of the Gitschberg and next to the mountain station in Vals.
Two certified ski schools cater to beginners while the kids have fun under the supervision of the staff. There are three children’s world play parks (one of them the Zwergele Winterwelt), helping kids take their first steps on skis. A number of traditional South Tyrolean restaurants are located in the vicinity.
