Description KitzSki – Kitzbühel/Kirchberg

From Kitzbühel, you can take the Hahnenkammbahn up into the large KitzSki ski area. Experts can tackle ski route 21, the Streif, down to Kitzbühel. If the Streif is too steep, you can also take run 20 or 22. From the Hahnenkamm, you can also ski directly down into the Ehrenbachgraben. From here, the detachable six-seater chairlift with weather protection hoods, Ehrenbachhöhe, takes you up to the Ehrenbachhöhe. This is also where the Fleckalmbahn from Kirchberg ends.

To ski down to Kirchberg, there are many runs available, ranging from easy to intermediate. These slopes wind through forests and over gentle alpine meadows. If you choose the route via Ochsalm and Maierl, you can take the Maierl 10-seater gondola and the 8-seater Ochsalm chairlift in two sections back up the mountain. Cozy ski huts can be found along the slopes down to Kirchberg.

From Kirchberg, you can take the Fleckalmbahn back up to the Ehrenbachhöhe. From here, you should definitely ski over the Steinbergkogel and the Silberstube to the Pengelstein. Here, you’ll find attractive runs served by three four-seater chairlifts. From here, beautiful descents also lead down to the Skirast, from where you can take the Pengelstein I eight-seater gondola back up to the chairlifts.

If you want to return towards Hahnenkamm and Kitzbühel, you need to ski down from the Pengelstein and take the Silberstube four-seater chairlift or the Brunn 8-seater chairlift back up, then follow a very flat slope to the intermediate and advanced runs leading towards Ehrenbachgraben.

The detachable Sonnenrast six-seater chairlift or the detachable six-seater chairlift with hoods, Ehrenbachhöhe, will take you back up to the Fleckalm mountain station. With the Steinbergkogel eight-seater chairlift, you can get from the Ehrenbachgraben up to the Steinbergkogel. The Jufen 8-seater chairlift also ends at the Steinbergkogel. The challenging runs here are sure to thrill advanced skiers.

From Pengelstein, you can also start the ski safari towards Pass Thurn. Thanks to the 3-S cable car, you can reach the Wurzhöhe in just a few minutes. The lift is 3.7 km long, with a free span of 2.5 km, and travels up to 400 meters above the ground. You can also ski down the beautiful ski route no. 34 to Jochberg. The last kilometer of the descent follows a flat forest road. After a short walk, you can take the Hausleiten drag lift to the Wagstätt 10-seater gondola and ride directly up to the Wurzhöhe (1,739 m).

After skiing down to the Talsen detachable four-seater chairlift, the Bärenbadkogel I detachable six-seater chairlift takes you up, and after a short descent, the Bärenbadkogel II detachable six-seater chairlift brings you to the mountain of the same name.

Now you reach the Zweitausender eight-seater chairlift, and from the top station, you can ski an easy run to the Hartkaser eight-seater chairlift. The detachable eight-seater chairlift serves wide slopes on treeless hillsides. To ski down to Pass Thurn, it’s recommended to take the Hanglalm detachable six-seater chairlift up and ski run 70 down to Pass Thurn.

From Pass Thurn, a detachable six-seater chairlift with blue hoods and heated seats takes you back up. From Hollersbach in the Salzburg Pinzgau, you can take the Panoramabahn Kitzbüheler Alpen I+II comfortably via the Breitmoos mid-station up to the Resterhöhe. The intermediate run here leads down to the mid-station. On the Resterhöhe and at the Zweitausender, you’ll find slopes of all difficulty levels on treeless hillsides and plenty of space for off-piste skiing.

With the Trattenbach and Gauxjoch six-seater chairlifts, you head towards Bärenbadkogel and continue via the Talsen four-seater chairlift to the 3-S.

To return to Kitzbühel, take the 3-S back to Pengelstein. From there, you can take the Silberstube four-seater chairlift to the slopes on the Hahnenkamm and the valley runs down to Kitzbühel and Kirchberg. At the valley runs and in Kitzbühel, you can enjoy some après-ski and look back on your day on the slopes.
