The family slope - a dream for beginners, but without alternatives

When looking at the trail map of Sillian Hochpustertal, one initially misses the blue runs. Here one can especially recommend the blue-marked and particularly wide family downhill run 3 including variants over five kilometers of slopes. The family downhill run can be reached via the Thurntal gondola and the Gadein chairlift without the use of a drag lift. The red slopes, however, can definitely be mastered by weaker skiers due to the terrain and their width.

The children's area and the practice area are located directly at the top station of the Thurntaler gondola lift. Here is also the meeting point of the ski school. The practice area is closed off from the rest of the slopes and has its own rope lift. The on-site ski schools offer both group and private lessons for skiers and snowboarders.

A ski rental shop is located directly at the valley station of the Thurntal gondola.
