Ski area Rittner Horn - Ritten
With the "Rittner Horn" lift pass, you can ski on 13 kilometres of piste on Ritten's local mountain, the sun-kissed family mountain on the high plateau. The pistes lie at a snow-sure altitude of 1,538 m to 2,260 m and offer a magnificent panorama of the Dolomites and gentle, wide descents for pleasure skiers, families and sun worshippers. The modern 8-seater gondola lift takes you from the village of Pemmern up to the Schwarzseespitze at 2,070 m, followed by a t-bar lift to the Rittner Horn. 90% of the pistes can be covered with artificial snow thanks to a total of 10 snow cannons.
A versatile children's park with magic carpet and co. is located at the middle station of the cable car. The 2.5 km-long toboggan run also starts here and leads to the valley station. The many rustic huts boast wonderful sun terraces and friendly innkeepers.
At the top of the Rittner Horn there is also a high altitude cross-country ski trail for cross-country skiers and a premium hiking trail around the Rittner Horn. There is also a marvellous snowkite zone where the wind sometimes whistles over the mountain ridge! There is a descent for every taste and ability level in this ski area.

Rules of conduct on ski pistes in Italy

In order to use the ski areas, everyone must have liability insurance that covers damage to third parties. It will also be possible to take out this insurance on site for individual days. Drunken skiing is prohibited and punishable by heavy fines, with a maximum of 0.5 mg of alcohol per litre of blood. To reduce the risk of injury, helmets are also compulsory for all minors when skiing, snowboarding or tobogganing.

The locals are particularly proud of the Ritten ice rink, which is said to be the fastest outdoor rink in the world. There are also other options for ice sports fans, such as ice hockey in the Arena Ritten at 1,100 metres or on the frozen Lake Wolfsgruben.
