Skiing in summer
Skiing in summer also has its charm. The Berghotel Franzenshöhe is an ideal launching point for summer skiing: you can reach the summit of the pass in ten minutes. There, in the summer sun, snow lovers can downhill ski, cross-country ski, or snowboard. After a day amidst the whirl of the tourist hurly-burly at the top of the pass, our guests return to the more comfortable altitude of 2188m to the quiet and inviting atmosphere of Franzenshöhe.
Summer skiing experienced its high point on Stilfserjoch in the Sixties and Seventies, as more and more ski lifts opened on the glacier, and the name Gustav Thöni was on everyone's lips. 30km of trails await you on the Stilfserjoch glacier, ranging from light to medium levels of difficulty. Two funicular lifts, and eight towropes will take you to an altitude of 3400m. Peak athletes train regularly on the Stilfserjoch in order to prepare themselves for the competition season.
You will find further information regarding prices for summer skiing on the Stilfserjoch. homepage of Liftanlagen.
