About the area

KitzSki spreads 185 km of piste across Tyrol, and half of it — 93 km — is green or blue, so it works well for people still building confidence. Blues dominate at 91 km, with 61 km of red for intermediates ready to link turns faster. Families are well served: 14 magic carpets cover first steps and 35 short easy runs sit next to a lift base. Experts get 28 km of black plus a little expert terrain, 16% of the area, which is enough for a few days rather than a season.

The area runs from 762 m to 1992 m, so lower slopes depend on cold spells; ski the upper lifts when it is mild. Of 63 lifts, 11 gondolas and 2 cable cars mean no chairlift loading with small children, backed by 28 chairlifts. The longest run is 5808 m with 886 m vertical, and there are 262 km of cross-country trails and 7 km lit for evening laps.
