Gitschberg Jochtal

Italy

Trentino-Alto Adige

South Tyrol's family-friendly secret in the Eisack Valley

Is Gitschberg Jochtal right for you?

  • Wide, sunny, south-facing pistes make it a genuinely pleasant family choice
  • Noticeably quieter than the bigger Dolomiti Superski resorts nearby
  • Two linked mountains (Gitschberg and Jochtal) give a good spread of terrain for the size
  • Close to Brixen, one of South Tyrol's most attractive historic towns
  • Heads up: It's a smaller network, so serious mileage-seekers may find a week here on the short side.
