 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi,
On Saturday 26th December, I am intending to ski with my daughter at Kitzbuhel - hoping that as it is a Saturday it will be less manic than later in New Year week.
My wife does not ski but would like to see Kitzbuhel as she has never been. So I have a couple of options in mind.....
1) Drive to Kirchberg - get lift up and leave Mrs TG at bottom to explore for the morning - is there enough for her for a couple of hours before lunch? Lunch would be taken earlyish in Kitzbuhel and we would drive there for lunch before leaving her to mooch the afternoon, while I and my daughter ski the afternoon.
2) Drive to Kitzbuheler horn and get her to come up and sit in the restaurant in the top for the morning before mooching around in the afternoon.
She is unlikely to want to use the pool by herself - or we might do this is a family after skiing.
Any thoughts/suggestions or ideas what else might keep my wife amused for the day?
Thanks

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

3) Give her £1000 to spend in the many high class shops in the town centre!
You'll be able to ski all day!

@TallGuyUK, There are several horse drawn carriage drivers based in the old town pedestrianised main street (Vorderstadt) in the centre of Kitzbuhel that offer short rides around the centre of Kitzbuhel. Afterwards she can have a coffee and cake in Cafe Praxmair 
You mentioned that she is unlikely to want to use the pool by herself. The Aquarena centre is a good way to spend some hours though - one of the pools has water jets etc, and I know that various spa treatments are available there.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

The Kitzbühel Museum is in the central area of the town and worth a visit if you like that sort of thing. As well as sections on the history of skiing and the art of Alfons Walde (see exhibitions), there are also displays on the development of the Kitzbühel region since early days.

@Alastair Pink, Thanks - Tea and Cake were always likely! 
@espri, The museum is a great shout - thanks
@daveqpr, @Hyst, Thanks - but I really do not need to encourage her to go shopping!

Why not drive to the Hahnenkamm lift first up. She could get the lift up the mountain with you, or meet up there later.

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Yes, I'd forgotten that, at the top station of the Hahnenkamm gondola. This is an extensive exhibition on skiing, particularly its development in Kitzbühel. There is also a restaurant in the building.

I would advise her to look in the museum but then don the snowboots and find a near mountain hut to eat. Think the restaurant is over priced and found the staff obnoxious. Only an opinion though!

I think if I were spending a day there, as a non skier, I'd probably prefer to spend most time in the town itself, certainly including the museum. But then, if I were Mrs @TallGuyUK, I'd be on the internet myself, planning my day.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

If you're not skiing, hiking, poloing, biking, driving, photoing, shopping, restauranting, drinking or casinoing in Kitz during Winter, then you're gonna be restricted to a handful of small museums and fancy churches.
