The Ratschings-Jaufen ski area is located in South Tyrol in the Ratschings Valley, just beyond the Brenner Pass when coming from the north. From the Brenner motorway exit at Sterzing, it takes only about 15 minutes to reach the valley station of the gondola lift (1,300 m). This is situated in the village of Bichl/Colle in the municipality of Ratschings. Parking is free of charge, except for the multi-storey car park. Alternatively, you can access the ski area from the top of the Jaufen Pass at 2,020 m near the Kalcheralm. The mountain pass connects the Ratschings Valley with the Passeier Valley.
