Non-stop skiing fun – Every beginning is hard. Not so on the WIDI & Ötzi magic carpets in the Hochoetz ski area. Use the child and beginner-friendly moving carpets at the Acherkogel top station to slowly warm up. Once you have found the key and can stand on your own skis, you will be ready for longer ski runs.

To get into the groove

The two WIDI & Ötzi magic carpets - one is short, the other one longer - are located not far from the Acherkogel top station and are just perfect for getting started on the slopes. You simply stand on it, keep your posture and then you move very slowly - or at least try to. The flat terrain in the surroundings makes an ideal practicing place. To improve longer turns, you can then try the modern WIDI lift.
