Axamer Lizum Ski Area

For skiers and snowboarders of all abilities, the Axamer Lizum Ski Area has nine lifts and forty kilometers of groomed slopes. The majority of the slopes face north, guaranteeing consistently high-quality snowfall all winter long. There are three primary sections of the ski area: Hoadl, Birgitzköpfl, and Nockspitze. As we will see later on, each industry has its own unique qualities and appeals.

Beginner Trails

If you’re just starting out on skis or snowboards or just want to hone your abilities, Axamer Lizum Ski Area has plenty of trails that are perfect for beginners. Those just starting out should head to the Birgitzköpfl sector, where the Olympia drag lift and the Birgitzköpfl chairlift provide easy access to large, mild slopes. There is a ski rental store, a ski school, and a children’s area all included here. Take the Hoadlbahn gondola up to the Hoadl-Haus in the Hoadl sector for a beginner-friendly experience, and then hit the blue runs that will take you right back to the base station. The Nockspitze sector is another option; from there, you can ride the Schönboden chairlift down blue run 1, which winds its way across the valley and offers breathtaking vistas.

Intermediate Trails

There is a wide variety of terrain at Axamer Lizum Ski Area to suit intermediate skiers and snowboarders. Featuring a wide array of red, blue, and even some difficult black runs, the Hoadl sector is both the biggest and most varied of the sectors. The Hoadl-Haus is accessible by the Hoadlbahn gondola and the Olympiabahn cable car; from there, a multitude of slopes stretch outward. Red run 5, the longest run in the ski resort, red run 7, a previous Olympic downhill course, and black run 10, a steep and tight mogul run, are some of the highlights. Red run 3, which connects to the Birgitzköpfl-Haus, is a beautiful and diverse route in the Birgitzköpfl sector. Red run 4, on the other hand, is a pleasant and quick run that links to the Hoadl sector. Red run 2, a steep and rocky path leading to the Nockspitze-Haus, and red run 8, a small and twisting path leading to the Schönboden chairlift, are two of the most difficult red runs in the Nockspitze sector.

Advanced Trails

Skiers and snowboarders with more experience will love Axamer Lizum Ski Area. There are countless options for freeriding and ski touring on the area’s famously good off-piste terrain. The Hoadl-Nord, Hoadl-Süd, and Hoadl-West are three of the finest off-piste places that can be reached from the Hoadl-Haus. There is deep powder, steep slopes, and breathtaking scenery in these regions. Additional off-piste regions surrounding the Nockspitze, including the Nockspitze-Nord and the Nockspitze-Süd, can be explored as well. Cliffs, couloirs, and gullies characterize the more difficult and technical terrain found in these regions. In addition to the Birgitzköpfl, you may explore the off-piste regions to the north and south of the mountain. The broad fields, trees, and bumps in these regions make for a more relaxed and fun environment. You may discover groomed black runs in the Hoadl sector, such the steep and cold black run 9, which connects to the Olympiabahn cable car, and the steep and narrow mogul run 10, which goes to the Hoadlbahn gondola.
