    Ski lifts at the ski resort Hochoetz – Oetz

    The feeder lifts up to the Hochoetz ski area are modern gondola lifts. From Oetz, the Acherkogelbahn covers an altitude difference of over 1,200 meters in just 8 minutes. Since the 2016/17 season, an eight-seater gondola lift has been running from Ochsengarten into the ski area. For the 2022/23 season, the Kühtailebahn was renewed. It is now a state-of-the-art six-seater chairlift with weather protection hoods and child safety features. Within the ski area, many more slopes can be accessed with the modern six-seater chairlift Wetterkreuz with weather protection hoods, as well as with the detachable four-seater chairlift Brunnenkopf. Additional chairlifts, platter lifts, and conveyor belts complete the offering.
