Austria | Skiing in Kitzbuhel
---no flash content!!! --
HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS
Stunning medieval setting > Good airport access > Wide ranging off piste options
This resort is a walled medieval settlement, which is full of glamorous bars and restaurants. Throughout the season the resort buzzes with excitement and has good nightlife. Kitzbuhel may be famous for attracting wealthy socialites but also caters for younger more economically-minded skiers from the UK, Holland and Italy.
The one downside of the resort is the low altitude and consequently snow conditions can be unreliable. However, the resort has invested massively in snow machines to overcome this problem. The 2004-5 season actually saw excellent natural snowfall in Kitzbuhel, but the snow-making technology is always there as a backup.
The skiing is predominantly intermediate but there is a good choice of pistes and there are wide motorway runs that are linked to the Pass Thurn region, which covers a greater area and often has better snow. The choice of on-piste eateries is amongst the best in the Alps.
The advanced skier might be better off trekking to the extensive off piste, in which case taking a guide is recommended.
Stay at the five-star Hotel Tennerhof, where facilities include an indoor pool, sauna and steambath, and an award-winning restaurant.
