Kitzbuhel in the Austrian Tirol is world famous; not just for its  skiing mind, but for its nightlife as well. There are around 170km of  slopes in Kitzbuhel starting in town, going across the street to the  Kitzbuheler Horn and all the way to Pass Thurn. Also on the same lift  pass is Kirchberg, Jochberg and other towns and villages.

The area has  no less than eleven ski schools offering as well as downhill skiing in all abilities, cross country, freestyle and snowboarding. Kitz is home  to the famous Hahnenkamm down hill ski race which began around 150 years ago.

Solden in Austria lies in the Oetztal which in turn lies in the Tirol  province of Austria. The area features 150km of slopes including two  glacier ski areas. These areas cover skiing for all types of skiers  from beginners to experts. There is a longer run which is only for  those with experience that covers 6km or runs with an elevation change of over 1800M.

The ski area of  Solden reaches over 3,000m which is high indeed. The glaciers now offer skiing in the Autumn months and it is here that you  will find in autumn the ski testing service. The glacier area is easily reached by bus or car. The village of Solden is remarkable and offers a great window to the Tirol of old whilst still portraying a great ski resort.

 St Anton in Austria also lies in the Tirol province of Austria and lies in the midst of the Arlberg's mountain range. This area by the by  has one of the best snow records in Austria if not of the Alps. The  resort lies at an altitude of 1300M, and not only offers great skiing on both sides of the valley but is skiable to the towns of Zurs and Lech in the Arlberg as well.

In addition we mentioned both sides of  the valley; well this is where the snowboard park is located. The area is called Rendl by the way. Oh and St. Anoton is also linked to St Christoph, just a few kms up the road. But where St Anton Austria normally excells is when the  lights go dark. Apres Ski is fantastic.

 

Scheffau in the Austrian Tirol is part of the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental. It is teamed up by lift with Ellmau, Soll and Going  and together has more than 210km of skiable terrain that has   snowmaking, 279 in all. And no, I have no clue which is the biggest,  so I chose Scheffau as I am most familiar with it.

Anyway it is a  simple matter to get to the Scheffau Bergbahn and all the other three  places it connects to; just walk across the street and you are there.  From Scheffau connect to the other 3 villages in the Wilder Kaiser  range. From here, and this is true in which village you may be staying  in, a ski school will look after your beginners, kids and those who do not want to ski alone.
