The new ski season is about to begin, and the Pitztal Testival from November 6th to 8th, 2026, promises three days packed with winter sports, brand-new ski models, and a variety of events. Together with Sport Förg, the Pitztal Glacier invites you to a sporty season kickoff against a breathtaking mountain backdrop.
Fresh snow, perfectly groomed slopes, and the latest ski trends: The Pitztal Testival 2026 offers winter sports enthusiasts the ideal opportunity to get in the mood for the upcoming season. For three days, everything on Tyrol's highest glacier revolves around skiing, testing, and shared experiences in the snow.
Test the latest ski models directly on the slopes
Anyone still searching for the perfect skis for the new season will find what they're looking for at the Testival. Together with Sport Förg, leading manufacturers such as Atomic, Blizzard, Fischer, Head, Elan, Nordica, Salomon, Völkl, and Stöckli will present their latest alpine ski models. The special feature: the skis can be tested directly on the glacier slopes. The expert team from Sport Förg will be on hand to provide personal advice and help you find the right model for your individual skiing style and requirements.
Après-ski with panoramic views at 3,440 meters
Even off the slopes, there's plenty of entertainment. Workshops, culinary offerings, and group events ensure a variety of fun-filled hours in the snow. A special highlight awaits on Saturday, November 7th: Starting at 1 p.m., DJ Spicy will be spinning tunes at Café 3.440. High above the peaks of the Tyrolean mountains, music, good company, and spectacular views come together.
Ski testing and glacier days at a special price
For those who want to fully enjoy the testival, attractive ticket packages are available. Three days of glacier skiing, including ski testing, cost €199, while two days are available for €159. Both packages can be conveniently booked online. Even a spontaneous visit is worthwhile: Anyone who just wants to try out the latest ski models for a day can purchase a ski test day pass for €30 directly at the FÖRG Ski Test Base on the glacier.
Whether you're an ambitious skier, a curious gear tester, or simply an enthusiastic winter sports fan: the Pitztal Testival combines the anticipation of winter with sporting experiences and a convivial atmosphere. A perfect opportunity to make the first turns of the new season.
