The highlights in the ski area are for sure the speed, carving and slalom tracks. The more experienced ones can try their luck and ride the Streif, the steepest race track in the world! Here is the annual competition of Hahnenkammrennen held.
Free-styler are right at home in one of the two snow parks. Kickers, quarter pipes, slides and rails offer them enough challenges.
For those who want to spend their ski day in a slower pace, should start with the blue pistes at Gaisberg, Ehrenbachhöhe and Pengelstein. Several ski routes are around Bichlalm, Pengelstein and Steinbergkogel. Off the piste are also delightful deep snow possibilities.
For those who just want to send some photos home, in the ski area Kitzbühel there are over 50 free Wi-Fi Hotspots, that you can use.
