Racines/Ratschings

More than just a ski area

Ratschings, a year-round outdoor paradise

Ratschings (or Racines, in Italian) enjoys a privileged position at the meeting point of three side valleys of the Wipptal valley: the Ratschingstal valley, the Jaufental valley and the Ridnauntal valley. This makes it the perfect year-round holiday destination. Beautifully framed by the Stubai Alps, it attracts scores of discerning walkers, hikers and mountaineers, all eager to enjoy its sunny alpine pastures, verdant forests and majestic peaks away from South Tyrol’s busiest tourist routes.
