Pitztaler Gletscher — Local services in Sankt Leonhard im Pitztal

Previous 3 years were really great, but now it's not bad it's extremely bad. Slopes are not maintained at all:

1. they don't turn on the snow-guns to put snow even during the high season and perfect condition for the snow
2. don't open slopes and keep just 2-4 max
3. don't close the most used slopes to make them flat as it was last year. I still remember that, when after the lunch they are so good an you can ride them like in the morning
4. there is no fence in danger turns to protect you from falling out of the slope on the most of them. How did you even come to this - save money on the safety? There are kids on those slopes too...
5. the last but not least, ski schools. I believe on every of 10 resorts that I've been ski schools during the lessons take only a half of the slope width, and not the whole. Here they are taking the whole + I saw trainers go 50-100-200meters ahead of the group without even paying much attention on their student's groups, that just doesn't make any sense and also a bit dangerous.

Although their website claims the slopes are open, the reality is different. If you take the Wildspitzbahn expecting to ski down the red slope 28, you'll find out at the top that your only option is the black slope 26 — good luck to less experienced skiers! At Brunnenkogel, you can only use the blue slope 20, as the red slope 21 is reserved for ski schools. The unavailability of the slopes on the Wildspitzbahn caused the slow t-bar Brunnenkogel to be completely overcrowded. There are no signs at the bottom of the slopes or alerts on the website indicating that many slopes will be inaccessible for public. This lack of communication feels unfair, especially when visitors pay for expensive ski passes without being informed of the limitations. We attempted to reach out via email for clarification, but no one bothered to respond. I recommend considering an alternative location that offers better value...

Don’t buy the on-line tickets, especially if the weather forcast is not good. In case the lifts don’t run, you will not get your money back, but you will be offered only a voucher. The staff is arrogant, not apologizing for you inconvenience, but insisting on the fact that you should have read the terms & conditions carefully and that it was you that took the risk and...
