Kitzbühel skiing 21:11 - Jan 2 with 4339 viewsKerryE

Assuming I didn't catch covid in Brum today, going to Kitzbühel on Saturday. Haven't been skiing for 13 years, and never been to
Kitzbühel.

So can any of you good folks recommend a ski school , and anything else?

I know the area well, Kerry, but not the town itself, sorry.

I've only spent one day in the town - I think I may have been injured or something - but the town was beautiful and a bit posh! Beautiful old stone Alpine architecture, fancy shops and posh restaurants.

The skiing is excellent, it's linked to a couple of towns to the South (I didn't head that way) Kirchberg to the West (nice skiing on that link) and through Kirchberg, West again to the massive and superb SkiWelt area.

If I think of anything else, I'll post.

Went there but on a walking holiday, so cannot help but one day basically walked up the Mens Downhill Course, absolutely crazy idea, so steep we spent the day zig zagging.

Check that ALL your paperwork is correct, they were turning people away at the border the other day.
Got 2 skiing holidays booked for February and March, like you hoping we’ll be allowed to go this year.

Good tip on Ski Sunday was to check the government web site OF THE COUNTRY YOU'RE VISITING, as changes to travel restrictions are posted on there first before being picked up by other countries government websites, including our own, obviously.

Except of course the Austrian one hadn’t been updated so people travelled with what they believed were the correct documents!
But yes Paul, you are right.
The other good bit of advice they gave was to book through a travel agent, unfortunately we’ve booked all ours independently!!

Well although you're being kind to me (well the BBC really), not a great piece of advice if countries don't keep the relevant sites up to date!

I’d say that skiing is the finest sport I’ve ever had a go at ( Mr Shields, P.P?) I was so lucky to be able to have three school holidays ; two in Italy and one in Bulgaria. I’ve never done anything like it, sport wise - so good to be young and lacking fear. I think it may be the first time that I was knocked out by the environment and views when normally stuff like that, at that age, just went over my head.

Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?

I’d agree with that Mick, the most fun you can have with your clothes on!
I didn’t take it up until my mid 40’s, so I’m only ever going to be competent, my daughter on the other hand is a BASI Level 2 qualified ski instructor!

Or, if you watch South Park, pizza or French fries (my daughter actually uses that when she teaches!).

Hi pal. I’m not a skier but ended up living just outside Kitz for 3 months at the back end of 2020.

Very simple place but this is a must. Great Aussie guy who runs/owns it https://simplefood.at/

Loads of great traditional Austrian restaurants in the centre. The Huberbrau Stuberl (spelling might be a bit wrong) is bang in the middle of town and very reasonable but all the restaurants with a decent rating are good. It’s a great cuisine.

The English-speaking girl in the bakery in Reith Bei Kitzbuhel has cracking tits also.

PM me and I’ll have a think about anything else.

Thanks for that. Simple food looks good. Not sure if I will be able to keep a straight face in the bakery!

Looks like ski schools are a bit iffy at the moment, we have had to arrange private lessons. Spoke to the guy there, it sounded like they are in proper covid meltdown!

starngely enough, the most famous mountain (Hahnenkamm) is not a great ski. it tends to be very icy and the downhlll is stupidly steep.

Would recommend, on the one side, Kirchberg, and on the other side and at the end of the valley, the highest skiing area, Pass Thurn, which usually has teh best snow.

And do not under any circumstances miss half a day on the Kitzbuheler Horn, which is a mountain all on its own with fabulous runds, inclduing one of my favourites across the Alps, red run number 4 down to Raintal. Slow lift back up from that run but my god it's worth it

Agree with Sevenhoop - for the best snow, good runs, great off piste - go out of the town. I worked out there for a season in the mid 90s and it was ace. We headed to Jochberg and Pass Thurn most of the time. You get the bus out to Jochberg and go up the mountain, then take the runs across and down to Pass Thurn. You get the bus back to Kitz from Pass Thurn. Lots of variety all over the ski area and good nightlife - so I'm sure you will have a great time!
