Valle Aurina - Klausberg e Speikboden

Skiworld Ahrntal, in the Ahrntal/Valle Aurina above Brunico, combines Klausberg and Speikboden on one lift ticket: 86 km of runs and 21 lifts between 950 and 2,510 m.

Why Go Snowboarding

The main reason is the two parks: the Funtaklaus at Klausberg if you like to push it, the Speikboden Snowpark if you’re just starting out. With the same lift ticket you can move from one to the other as you progress. Outside the park, Klausberg climbs above 2,500 m, surrounded by peaks over 3,000 m. The catch: the two areas aren’t linked by lifts but by a free ski bus, so it’s worth giving each one a full day.

Terrain & Slopes

Klausberg starts at Cadipietra/Steinhaus and has 41.5 km of runs and 9 lifts between 1,050 and 2,510 m. Its runs include the Guasleitn, a tough run used for pro training, and the Kottersteg, which heads down toward San Giovanni; the run down to Cadipietra is about 5 km long. Speikboden, at Campo Tures/Sand in Taufers, has 43.5 km and 8 lifts between 950 and 2,400 m, with the Speikboden gondola and the Sonnklar chairlift. The longest run in the area is 9 km, with about 1,500 m of vertical. Snowmaking covers the whole area.

Snowpark

The Funtaklaus Snowpark at Klausberg has a Medium section, with kickers, boxes, and rails for intermediate and advanced freestylers, and a Hard section for experienced riders, both shaped daily by a dedicated park crew. It sits up high, near the top station of the K2 gondola, at around 2,400 m. The Speikboden Snowpark, next to the top station of the Seenock chairlift, has an easy line, a fun line, and a mix of features for beginners: the right place for your first jumps and first boxes. The operator doesn’t publish feature sizes, so take a scouting lap before you send it.

Tips

At Speikboden the base is at 950 m: on warm late-season days the snow down low softens early, so ride the lower runs in the morning. For non-skiers there’s the 10 km Speikboden toboggan run, the longest in South Tyrol according to the operator, and the Klausberg Flitzer alpine coaster.

Getting There

From the A22 Brenner highway, take the Bressanone/Puster Valley exit and follow the Puster Valley road to Brunico, then drive up the Ahrntal. By train, get off at Brunico or Brunico Nord (change at Fortezza) and take a Südtirol Mobil bus up the valley; they run every 15 minutes.
