Area Profile
An attractive village located in one of Austria's largest inter-connected ski areas (the Ski-Welt). Excellent for beginners at resort level, others go up the mountain.
Well placed at the heart of the largest lift-linked ski area in Austria, the Ski Welt with 250km / 157 miles of trails also holds the title of having the most artificial snow covering in the country, when needed. Add to that the fact that this is part of the huge Kitzbüheler Alpen Ski Pass, an alliance of five ski areas offering a combined total of 260 lifts, and you have somewhat unlimited skiing opportunities. A 3D piste map is available top help you find your way around.
The area got bigger still in 2005-6 when the Ki West gondola created a lift link between the SkiWelt and Kitzbühel's ski area thanks to a 4km long gondola between Westendorf and a point near Kirchberg. A short bus journey is required to reach Westendorf and from the gonmdola base at Kirchberg to the lifts that link to Kitzbühel.
