Ski area Kitzbühel
With 185 kilometres of piste, the "Kitzbühel" lift pass offers perfect ski enjoyment. The chair lift "Resterhöhe" starts directly at Pass Thrun, the panoramic gondola directly in Hollersbach im Tal - the ideal connection to the ski area with its 57 lifts, which bring you comfortably to the pistes on Gaisberg, Pengelstein, Hahnenkamm, Kitzbüheler Horn and Resterhöhe, and up to 2,000 m.
The speed, carving and slalom slopes are special attractions, with the highlight being the steepest competitive slope in the world, the Streif - a must for passionate winter athletes! This also where the annual Hahnenkamm race takes place. With the 3S cable car a fantastic interconnected ski area has been created, which offers you the opportunity to use the pistes from Krichberg, via Kitzbühel and Jochberg, right up to the Skiarena Resterhöhe in Pass Thurn.
The "Mercedes-Benz Snowpark" is a true boarders paradise: with quarter-pipe, tables, slides and jumps on the Hanglalm a snowboarder's heart will definitely beat faster.
The easy runs on Gaisberg, Ehrenbachhöhe and Pengelstein are ideal for families. All around Bichlalm, Pengelstein and Steinbergkogel, there are numerous marked ski routes for all skill levels, as well as excellent deep-powder runs off-piste.
A special highlight in this ski area are the 40 free Wi-Fi hotspots it offers for all its visitors! Only a few easy steps are required to access the Internet and you can instantly supply your friends and family with your holiday news and photos.
For those who live for variety, we recommend the "Super Ski Card" lift pass (see ski region), which is also valid in the ski areas of e.g. Wilder Kaiser - Brixental, Schneewinkel and "Ski Juwel" (Alpbachtal - Wildschönau). You can enjoy 23 ski regions in Tyrol and Salzburg on 2,750 km of pistes.
