Rosskopf (Monte Cavallo)

Rosskopf overlooks the medieval town of Sterzing/Vipiteno in South Tyrol, offering 17.5km of piste across a 963m vertical drop that reaches 2,275m. The mountain features wide, open slopes that suit intermediate skiers alongside dedicated family areas and challenging red runs for experienced visitors. With unobstructed views extending to the Stubai Alps and the dramatic Penser Joch pass, this mid-sized resort balances genuine Italian mountain charm with modern facilities. The considerable altitude range ensures varied snow conditions and different terrain experiences from top to bottom.

Rosskopf's lift network comprises 8 installations efficiently connecting all skiing zones across the mountain. The modern gondola from Sterzing whisks skiers directly from the valley floor to the main skiing area, eliminating long transfer times typical of many Italian resorts. A combination of high-speed chairlifts and strategic surface lifts maintains excellent uphill flow throughout the day. The total capacity of 9,500 people per hour keeps waiting times minimal, even during peak holiday periods. The thoughtful layout allows easy circulation between different mountain sectors without excessive traversing.
