Rosskopf

Rosskopf is a mountain summit in the Stubaier Alps that rises to about 2,189 meters and dominates the profile of surrounding peaks. The mountain is located near Vipiteno and offers extensive skiing and hiking trails connected by modern cable car infrastructure.

The mountain became known as a recreation destination after its first cable car system was installed and transformed access to the slopes. This infrastructure expanded over decades and made it a major center for skiing and hiking tourism in the region.

Mountain huts scattered across the slopes serve dishes that blend Italian and Alpine cooking traditions. Visitors find local South Tyrolean ingredients and recipes that reflect how mountain communities have eaten for generations.

A modern cable car system carries visitors from Vipiteno to an elevation of 1,860 meters in about twelve minutes year-round. From this point, hikers and skiers can easily explore the various trails and slopes since the infrastructure is well marked and accessible.

The mountain houses one of Italy's longest illuminated toboggan runs that stretches for several kilometers through forest sections. This toboggan track offers a special experience for families and visitors during both day and night who want to blend traditional alpine activities with modern entertainment.
