Kitzbuhel / Intermediates

Intermediates will thrive throughout the Kitzbühel region, particularly in the Hahnenkamm area.

Intermediates will thrive throughout the Kitzbühel region, particularly in the Hahnenkamm area. The whole area is littered with long blue runs. There are numerous runs worth trying at Pengelstein. The problem with circuits like Kitzbühel’s Safari tour is that it can be difficult to gauge how much time to spend checking out other tempting runs en route which are not going to take skiers any nearer their destination. Yet any over-eagerness to get to Pass Thurn means there’s a risk of missing out on some good skiing. Apart from the Safari route, which is a good day out for reasonably experienced intermediates - who can still always call it a day when they get to Pass Thurn without making the return journey on snow - there’s a wealth of easy skiing on the western flanks of the Hahnenkamm-Pengelstein massif. There are wonderful long blue runs from Pengelstein and Ehrenbach-höhe down to Kirchberg, a large satellite resort which also has its own little ski area on the Gaisberg (1264m). The Kitzbüheler Horn also has some scorching intermediate runs.
