Ive been heading to the slopes 2/3 weeks a year for the past 20 years and have been all over the world, but until now never to the infamous Kitzbuhel.
Booking last minute, I expected big things of this place , so famous for its runs and its village style resort.
The slopes did not dissapoint, nor did the weather, skiing in early march is risky and with Kitzbuhel being at 'low-level' I was worried. The amount of snow seemed to suprise even the locals. Pistes of varying degrees of difficulty were well kept, but changed in difficultly with every corner, which made it great fun for the more experienced of us, but hard going for begginers. There were a lot of 'Tracks' which were very flat in places and walking was common, Snowboarders beware! The lift system was also very dated, with one main gongala giving access to the mountain-get there early to avoid the queue. Other lifts were very old and badly needed updating , slow 1 and 2 man chairs still operate here , hammering the back of your legs when you try to get on. (it does seem that they are trying to modernise), but this takes time.
The village was lovely and shops and bars were good quality but pricey. The swimming /spa was very good, with slides etc for the kids and a great range of relaxation for those tired muscles. NOTE-This is an Austian spa and swimming costumes/shorts are NOT allowed. Give it a go its very liberating.
Overall the skiing is good if you plan your route to avoid trails and head for the more modren lifts, Kitbuhel buzz's at night, bustling with Bars, and the beers good to!
