I will be short. If you are into: 1) spectacular scenery and views; 2) massive glaciers and a high-mountain environment; 3) off-piste skiing and ski-alpinism; 4) pristine and uncontaminated alpine valley; 5) friendly locals; 6) no queues; and 7) great value for money, then this is THE place for you. Look no further. Pitztal has it all. If on the other hand you are after showing off, discos, apres-ski and drunken crowds avoid this place altogether. Go to nearby Soelden if skiing is still important or head to Ischgl if partying is top priority. If great food is your priority, avoid Austria altogether I am afraid. Head for the Reschen Pass (nearby) or the Brenner and ski Italy.
