 General Information

Follow the Snow! Best of Tirol VI

Sport65 - with a maximum in safety into the snow:

If your booked Sport65 trip may not take place due to restrictions, the already paid travel price or deposits will be fully refunded by us.
Of course, any payment by you is also covered by the travel insurance certificate in accordance with §651k BGB at tourVers / Hanse Merkur insurance, which you will receive directly with the booking.

We are insanely looking forward to the coming winter with you. But as you know:
Without regulations it may not work....
In the sense of many of our travel guests and employees then take effect in the winter season for our trips the regulations prescribed by law at the time of travel.

icon_info.gif Your destination...

...is where? We don't know exactly yet, but one thing is for sure: Tyrol and the areas there are terrific for our travel concept!

A fixed date, flexible ski areas in Tyrol where our guides know their way around - that's the motto for our unique Follow the Snow! camps.
To be as flexible as possible, to find the best snow and the best conditions - all this in the highest and most spectacular freeride areas of the Northern Alps, with a quick and easy journey and the 100% snow guarantee that we always have there thanks to the Tyrolean glaciers with their mega-high cable cars and lifts.
Why not decide quickly in the morning where the ski day is best spent, stress-free, without crowded terrain?
And Tyrol is still for that: The best place to go!

The Follow the Snow! Best of Tirol Camps are organised by us in cooperation with the organiser "FlatSucks" from Tyrol - the mountain guides then know exactly where to expect the best conditions for you.
The guides from FlatSucks will be there for you on site - there will be no Sport65 Safety Guide on site.
Your accommodation, the Ambachhof in the Ötztal, is so conveniently located that we can reach the surrounding freeride areas within 15-45 minutes in the morning and have dinner there or at the accommodation in the evening.
The mountain guides always decide at short notice and as spontaneously as possible which of the surrounding skiing areas we will go to on the respective days. According to: The best snow on the trail!

Of course, we can't give a 100% "powder guarantee", but we do our best and will definitely be able to make the best of the conditions on your booked date, so that we are #righttimerightplace...

A little bonus on the side: owners of the "Tirol Snowcard" often don't even need to buy a ski pass, because actually all the areas we can go to are in the association...

  Accommodation

Gasthof Ambachhof, Oetz - our Follow the Snow! Basecamp in Tyrol...

The Ambachhof: A simple house, super friendly run and: Perfectly situated for us!

At the Follow the Snow! Freeridecamps three criteria count above all:
Flexibility, flexibility and location of the accommodation!
And the Ambachhof in Oetz meets these three criteria perfectly:
The arrival is super fast and uncomplicated, the rooms are perfect for our purposes, the staff is mega friendly and helpful and the location is for our concept: Outstanding!
Because from Oetz we are quickly on our way in all directions in Tyrol in the morning - whether we are going into the Oetztal, whether we are going via the Inntal motorway in the direction of Arlberg or Innsbruck - or whether we are only 3-4 minutes away in the direction of the Hochoetz/Kühtai ski area.
You can also travel to Oetz perfectly by train, because Heiming station is only a few kilometres away and the bus takes you almost directly to the hotel door.
And as a little treat on top: the Ambachhof has a sensational pizzeria that our guests always love: because after a long day of skiing, you can also eat directly at the hotel if you haven't already stopped off somewhere on the way back.

What is important to us, however, is that the Ambachhof is a simple house - so if accommodation is very important to you at your freeidecamp, don't book this trip - but if flexibility and above all: good ski days are important to you: This is exactly your thing!

Facilities and services:

  • Big breakfast with typical specialities of the region
  • All rooms with shower, toilet, TV
  • Á la carte restaurant in the house
  • Free parking for your cars

 Skiresorts

Arlbergregion (St.Anton, Lech, Zürs, Stuben, Sonnenkopf,...)

Sorry, we did not translate the skiresorts facts in English.
But you may rest assured that this resort is a fabulous freeride spot!

Feel free to contact us for further information or visit the website of the resort...

5 Sterne im ADAC Skiatlas, das Freeride Mekka mit Powdergarantie...

Der Arlberg: Ein Ski-Mythos der Superlative, der wie ein Magnet auf Wintersportler aus aller Welt wirkt!
Extrem schneesicher, tolles Bergpanorama und mit seinen Skigebieten Lech/Oberlech/Zürs, St.Anton/St.Christoph/Stuben und Warth/Schröcken mit einigen der spektakulärsten Skigebiete weltweit gesegnet.
Für Freerider braucht man den Arlberg eigentlich nicht vorzustellen, er gilt als das wahrscheinlich berühmteste "Easy Access" Gebiet der Alpen.
Warum? Weil man grandiose Hänge, Rinnen, Flanken fast ohne Aufstiege erreichen kann!

Aber: Unsere Bergführer, die alle aus der Arlberg Region kommen werden euch dort Runs zeigen, die nicht viele finden... Das können wir euch versprechen, denn wir bewegen uns einfach weg vom "Easy Access" der anderen...
Vor allem werden euch die Bergführer die sicheren Varianten zeigen, denn leider passieren am Arlberg, durch das wilde im Gelände fahren, recht viele Unfälle, vor denen wir euch bestmöglich schützen.
Die einzelnen Gebiete sind mittlerweile sogar direkt miteinander durch die Flexenbahn verbunden.
Oder natürlich mit unseren Bergführern die Valluga Nord Abfahrt nach Zürs nehmen (nur in Begleitung eines Bergführers erlaubt!)...
Hier geht einfach alles: Weite offene Hänge mit Big Turns fahren, steile enge Couloirs, sehr lange Runs oder auch nur kurze Stücke durchs Gelände. Freaks treffen auf Herausforderungen aller Art und den berühmten Arlberg Champagner-Powder!

Als Alternative wenn es stark schneien sollte haben wir auf der Arlberg Nordseite noch das kleine aber sehr feine Gebiet des Sonnenkopfs in Wald.
Dieses lohnt sich in jedem Falle auch, denn hier ist wieder einmal die Devise: Geheimtipp, Familiengebiet = weniger Freerider!
Die Pisten dort liegen zum Teil im Wald, so dass man eine bessere Sicht hat.

Die Arlberg-Region gilt als die Wiege des modernen Skifahrens, wurde doch hier um 1920 der berühmte "Arlbergschwung" von Hannes Schneider salonfähig gemacht, die erste Skischule gegründet und 1931 der erste Skilift Österreichs in den Schnee gestellt. Warth/Schröcken gilt als schneereichstes Skigebiet Europas.
Dem Ganzen setzte dann die Alpine Ski WM, die 2001 in St.Anton stattfand, noch die Krone auf.

Ach ja, wenn ihr mal was besonderes Essen wollt - in einer ganz anderen, dennoch super netten Atmosphäre dann geht in das Restaurant "Skiing Buddha" - wir sind dort mit unseren Gruppen Stammgäste, denn der Wirt Harry ist ein alter Weggefährte von Holger...
Sagt dort einen Gruß von Holger dann gibts nen Schnaps aufs Haus...

Daten / Fakten / Wissenswertes über das Skigebiet...

  • Gesamt Pistenkilometer: 303 km + unzählige Skirouten
  • Anzahl der Aufstiegsanlagen / Lifte: 88
  • Schneesicherheit: Der Arlberg ... man braucht dazu eigentlich nichts sagen, denn er ist und bleibt (selbst in schlechten Wintern) ein Schneeloch - mit unseren Bergführern findest du Powder, 100% sicher...

Freerideregion Ötztal (Sölden, Gurgl, Kühtai, Hochötz)

One of the most spectacular and snow-assured freeride valleys in the Alps is waiting...

Statistically the most snow-assured areas in Austria!
Skiing, après, sports and party - there is probably no other area in Europe where you can put all this under your famous hat.
Here we have the ultimate home advantage: almost all of our mountain guides come from this region and know their way around perfectly!

Right at the entrance to the Ötztal valley there are 2 small areas that are considered perfect freeride (and secret!) spots - Hochötz/Ochsengarten and the Kühtai offer endless possibilities with their lifts, all the way down to the valleys to be discovered.
Ingenious, because here only families ride through the area and we find space without end!
You can reach very good and long runs with little ascent, and the terrain is not very rugged in these typical "family areas" - good for us...

In the middle of the valley lies the world-famous Sölden, snow-assured by no less than 2 glaciers, modern lifts, cosy huts and always good snow - here you will find all this in large quantities.
Sölden is the first ski resort in Austria to offer 3 accessible 3000-metre peaks (also known as BIG 3) with ultra-modern lifts - here you will find undreamt-of freeride possibilities with downhill runs into remote valleys or even over into the Pitztal.
The two Sölden glaciers alone offer a lot, it's a damn high altitude!
The steep gullies of Gaislachkogl) complete the super freeride area of Sölden.
Of course, our guides know almost every stone here and know exactly where it will go best...

Hochgurgl and Obergurgl, located at the very end of the valley, have long been more than just insider tips for the freeride scene - but only if you know the area perfectly - because the high alpine location also holds many dangers but many more possibilities.
Almost nobody rides off-piste there, because the "gurgling" crowd is rather comfortable and very piste-oriented - all the better for us!
Here too, all the lifts are brand new and offer outstanding transport comfort.
With little ascent you can reach unbelievably long runs, all the way down and right into the middle of Obergurgl.
What is also known: Gurgl is perhaps the largest "snow hole" in Austria, because here the clouds often snow out just as fertilely during the north jam as when the clouds stream in from the south.

Data / Facts / Worth knowing...

    Total kilometres of pistes: approx. 350 km
    Number of lifts / lifts: approx. 70
    Guaranteed snow: Glaciers up to 3250m do not even cause snow worries here.
    By the way, Gurgl is statistically considered the area with the most snow in Austria...

Freerideregion Silvretta/Paznaun (Ischgl, Samnaun, See, Kappl, Galtür)

Sorry, we did not translate the skiresorts facts into English.
But you may rest assured that this resort is a fabulous freeride spot!

Feel free to contact us for further information or visit the website of the resort...

Action bitte: Eines der In-Gebiete der Alpen und Freeride-Geheimtipps wartet!

Wer kennt es nicht? ISCHGL- Hier ging bis 2020 die Post auch nach dem Skitag ab - aber zum Glück wussten wir schon immer:
Ischgl und Samnaun bieten mehr als nur Après oder Party mit Helene Fischer -  das Freeride Terrain hier ist vom allerfeinsten! Denn wir werden uns weit abseits der "normalen" Skiszene bewegen und allenfalls beim Herunterkommen am Nachmittag ein "Feierabendbier" nach gelungenem Freeridetag in aller Ruhe und abseits des Trubels genehmigen...
Oft finden sich gute Tracks unmittelbar neben der Piste, andere phantastische Abfahrten erreicht man mit einem Aufstieg - witzigerweise traut sich das "normale" Ischgl Pistenpublikum kaum ins Gelände, was es für uns umso besser macht!
Ischgl ist nämlich ein wahres Paradies für Freerider - ein echter Geheimtipp sozusagen. Ischgler Gäste sind zum Großteil Genussskifahrer. Sie tummeln sich auf den breiten, mäßig steilen Pisten. Daher findet man auch Tage nach Neuschneefällen noch unverspurte Runs in der Silvretta Arena, die Freeriderherzen höher schlagen lassen.
Unsere Bergführer kennen das Gebiet zwischen Samnaun und der neuen Val Gronda Gondel natürlich bestens, denn es ist ja ihre "Homezone".

Durch die Eröffnung der Piz Val Gronda Bahn in der Wintersaison 2013/14 gewann die Silvretta-Arena nicht nur weitere Pistenkilometer, sondern enthüllte ein bisher verborgenes Freeride-Gebiet. Dieses Paradies für Variantenfahrer - mit weiten Hängen, verspielten Kuppen und Mulden - erreichen Wintersportler nun schon nach einer kurzen Gondelfahrt, ohne eine Sekunde aufsteigen zu müssen. 900 Höhenmeter Powderspass vom Feinsten – auch für ungeübte Offpiste Cracks.
Das Hauptskigebiet (90 %) liegt zwischen 2.000 m und 2.872 m Höhe und ermöglicht aufgrund der schneesicheren Nordhänge Skivergnügen von Ende November bis Anfang Mai und je nach Exposition findet man Powder oder Frühlingsschnee auf nur einem Run!
Kurzum: Ein Gebiet der Superlative, das viele Liebhaber hat - und oftmals völlig falsch eingeschätzt wird.

Im vergleichseweise ruhigen Galtür geht es noch uriger zu, dort wird man mit breiten Ski noch immer etwas schräg angeschaut. Und auch das ist gut so, denn so findet sich hier, im Gegensatz zu den überlaufenen Gebieten wie am Arlberg, auch Tage nach dem letzten Schneefall noch eine Menge unverspurtes Gelände!
Das gesamte Paznauntal ist sehr schneesicher durch seine Höhe und die wettergünstige Lage. Die Saison beginnt im November und endet immer erst Anfang Mai.
Ach ja - und der Holger hat hier übrigens vor über 40 Jahren das Skifahren gelernt...

Und "vorne" im Tal befinden sich die kleinen - aber extrem feinen - Freeridegebiete von Kappl und See, die man durchaus als echte Geheimtipps nennen kann.
Denn auch hier sind die Hänge sehr gut erreichbar, werden aber kaum gefahren, denn beide Gebiete sind die typischen "Familienskigebiete", was es für uns noch attraktiver macht. Sie sind sehr schnell erreichbar und waren für unsere Gruppen schon oft die großen Überraschungen, denn gerade hier hat man viel Platz, denn auf den Hängen dort tummeln sich meist Familien, die eher auf den Pisten bleiben... also ideal für uns...

Daten / Fakten / Wissenswertes...

  • Gesamt Pistenkilometer: über 350 km
  • Anzahl der Aufstiegsanlagen / Lifte: über 70 Bahnen und Lifte
  • Schneesicherheit: Das Gebiet geht sehr hoch und hat Hänge in allen Expositionen - daher: Wir finden hier immer Schnee für dich! Garantiert!

Der Freeride Geheimtipp hoch über dem Inntal...

Die hochmoderne Skischaukel Serfaus / Fiss / Ladis - ein Gebiet, das man als Freerider nicht unterschätzen sollte!
Vor einigen Jahren haben sich die Liftbetreiber des Hochplateaus verbunden und in kürzester Zeit eines der modernsten und attraktivsten Skigebiete der ganzen Alpen aus dem Tiroler Boden gestampft!
In keinem anderen Skigebiet, das wir kennen, wurde in den vergangenen Jahren so viel in die Infrastruktur investiert, keine Neuerung ging hier vorbei.
Nagelneue Bahnen, die hoch hinauf gehen und mit kurzen Anstiegen erreicht man ein riesiges Freeride Terrain. Was willst du mehr?
Das Gebiet ist das typische "Familienskigebiet", was es für uns als Freerider nur umso interessanter macht.
Denn was machen Familien? Auf der Piste fahren!
Von daher findet man in Serfaus mit minimalen Aufstiegen sehr viel freien Skiraum mit traumhaften Möglichkeiten.
Die Runs liegen in allen Expositionen, so dass man von Pulver bis Firn alles an einem Tag vorfinden kann.
Ganz nebenbei hat man vom Skigebiet aus auch einen wunderschönen Panoramablick auf Zugspitze, Ortler, Kaunertaler Gletscher,...

Daten / Fakten / Wissenswertes...

  • Gesamt Pistenkilometer: 214 km
  • Anzahl der Aufstiegsanlagen / Lifte: 68
  • Schneesicherheit: Die Hänge rund um die Masner Lifte, an der Pezid Gondel oder unterhalb von Lazid bekommen oftmals aus fast heiterem Himmel Schnee ab - auch wenn es anderswo in Tirol nicht schneit. Da wir hier jeden Tag aufs neue entscheiden können, wohin es geht: Für uns perfekt!

Die "Freeride-City" mit ihren unglaublichen Möglichkeiten...

Mitten drin in den Tiroler Bergen liegt die Hauptstadt des Bundeslandes Tirol: Innsbruck! Eine Perle.
Umgeben von spektakulären Berggipfeln liegt der Olympiaort von 1976 wahrlich wie die Made im Speck. Weltweit gibt es sicherlich nur eine Handvoll Städte, die eine solche Auswahl an fantastischen Freeridespots bietet wie Innsbruck. Angefangen von der Nordkette, deren Gondel quasi mitten aus der Stadt geht oder dem Stubaier Gletscher, den man mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln leicht und schnell erreichen kann finden gerade Freeridefans hier einen riesigen Spielplatz.
Axamer Lizum, dort wo die Alpinen Rennen bei Olympia stattfanden oder das Kühtai sind ebenfalls schnell erreichbar. Und nach Seefeld sind es auch nur wenige Kilometer, ein Skiort der eher für nordischen Skilauf bekannt ist, aber gerade deshalb mit wenig Aufwand sehr viele offpiste-Möglichkeiten bietet.
Auch das Zillertal ist in ca. 30 Minuten über die Inntal Autobahn erreichbar und bietet 5 große Skigebiete, die allesamt schon alleine für eine perfekte Woche im Powder reichen würden.
Kurzum: Die Gebiete in und um Innsbruck können sich mehr als sehen lassen - und wenn du dort mit unseren einheimischen Bergführern unterwegs bist kannst du zu 100% sicher sein, dass du unvergessliche Skitage erleben wirst!
Schau dir einfach mal den Video Teaser an und träume von deinen Tagen im Pulverschnee...

Rental equipment:

The next points are only needed in case you would like to have rental or test equipment (Skis, boots, etc). This equipment you can get adjusted before departure in our shop or we can bring it with us to the destination.
Attention: Proper adjustment of the bindings is only possible in our Sport65 shop. On the road we can only adjust the bindings manually. The skis are calibrated and the functionality of the bindings is tested. Due to that fact there is no binding adjustment as per IAS norm possible on-site. The use of rental equipment takes place at the user's own risk. Sport65 cannot be held responsible for binding adjustment without automatic testing. The renter can get his bindings adjusted in a sport shop on-site at own cost.
Sport65 equipment is not automatically insured against breakage or theft.
For the booked rental equipment our rental terms are applicable: For cancellation of rental equipment a handling fee of 10.- Euro will be retained. For cancellation from 3 days before departure 80% of the rental fee will be charged. There is no discount possible for rental equipment retured earlier than planned.
