Summer skiing at the Schnalstal Glacier 2011

The Schnalstal Glacier lies in western South Tyrol and is known for its magnificent panoramas and clear mountain air. The region around the Schnalstal Glacier is proud not only to be a summer ski area in Italy, but also to offer hikes through South Tyrol and wellness facilities. The glacier itself is reached by cable car and lies at an altitude of around 3,200 metres. In both summer and winter, skiers in South Tyrol can enjoy exceptionally wide pistes, runs of every difficulty level, and a long, challenging descent of around 8 km. The Schnalstal Glacier is considered snow-reliable all year round. Nevertheless, the Gentlemenriders SummerCamp wisely offers alternatives, including archery, fishing, barbecues and climbing, as well as parties and outstanding events. South Tyrol is currently reporting excellent piste conditions, with pleasant temperatures and plenty of sunshine. The Gentlemenriders SummerCamp could hardly wish for a better start. The lift facilities and hotels around the Schnalstal Glacier offer special deals, which should be checked individually. These might include an attractive morning skiing experience, or unrestrained fun at the snowboard and freeski camp, followed by brilliant and varied afternoon activities away from the snow and ice.

Incidentally, the legendary “Ötzi” was found at the Schnalstal Glacier.
