The area is a skier’s
delight, with the local lift pass covering all of the resorts
listed here and the super new version covering a much
wider variety and guaranteed snow at the Kaprun
glacier.. So no matter where you are staying in or
around Kitzbuhel, you are OK to ski the "Kitz" area and
the
wider
expansion. Kitzbühel , for all its ski
reputation
is a multifaceted resort. It attracts a large number of
sophisticates, and various "poseurs" from nearby
countries, as well as throngs of serious "holiday
skiers" from all over the globe. It is this mixture,
this melting pot that makes the area so interesting. Kitzbühel is no longer a winter only resort. There are a
number of golf courses in town and plenty more within a
couple of hours drive. There is a lake just outside the
village which also attracts locals and visitors during
the summer months. |
