The Mutterer Alm ski resort offers mainly easy and intermediate slopes. The highlights are the Muttereralm run (3400m long, easy) and the Goetzens run (4200m long, intermediate) which lead down next to both of the 8 person gondola lifts. You can ski both runs down to the valley or stop at the middle station of the Mutterer Alm lift or the Goetzner lift. The only black run is located at the 4 person Pfriemeskoepfl chair lift. There is also a 6 km long toboggan run in Mutters.

The slope preparation is very good.
Tip: By new snow, an optimal slope prepartion is not always possible, even with a large effort. In addition, the new snow can not combine with the snow lying underneath and moguls are created quickly. For safety reasons, usually no slope preparation is possible during operating times.
