• Schöneben-Haideralm ski area: On Tuesday evenings, the Haideralm slope can be used from 17:00 to 23:00. The Haideralm is also open in the evening and the cable car operates from 18:30 to 20:00 and from 21:30 to 23:00.
• Watles ski area: from 24 January to 7 March 2025, every fortnight, on Fridays from 19:00 to 23:00, there will be a hut evening for ski touring and snowshoe hikers at the Höfer Alm. On other Friday evenings, until 14 March, there will be a tobogganing evening. The Watles toboggan run is illuminated from 19:00 to 23:00 and the Plantapatsch hut is open.

Don't forget your headlamp during evening tours and make sure that the slopes or ascent routes are free for grooming within the last few hours, otherwise it will be dangerous. Since the ascent routes or slopes may only be partially open or completely closed due to lack of snow, it is always a good idea to enquire at the relevant area about the current possibilities for ski touring before setting off on a tour. 

General information on ski tours in South Tyrol

In principle, in the ski areas of South Tyrol it is forbidden to go up through the pistes, even during the ski season, but in some ski areas there are specially signposted ascent routes for ski touring or winter hiking trails that can be used for ascent.

On the Alpenvereins Südtirol (AVS) website, you can find more information including:

• a list of slope tours offers in the South Tyrolean ski areas.
• legal regulations and information to be observed during slope tours.

On another AVS website, you will also find 10 rules of behaviour for ski touring, which you should take note of.
