Ski slopes Hochoetz – Oetz

In Hochoetz, there are slopes of all levels of difficulty. Beautiful forest glade runs lead down to Ochsengarten and to the Acherkogelbahn Section II. In the Balbachtal, you ski on wide, treeless slopes. Since 2020, a newly constructed black run perfectly connects Balbach and Ochsengarten, linking these two parts of the ski area. Easy slopes can be found around the Hochoetz mountain station as well as at the Mohrenkopf and Balbach chairlifts. There is no valley run to Oetz, but there are several to Ochsengarten.
