Poster: A snowHead
|
Planning to do this during this week. Will we have time to ski a few runs in Kitz or do we have to head straight back?

It's been a while and I'm far from an expert on the area, but I seem to remember that there used to be a bus from Westendorf that cut travel time down - that allows for an hour or so in Kitzbuhel.

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

We did Hopfgarten to Kitzbuhel one-way 2 weeks ago. Took 2 hours to get into the Kitbzuhel ski area (Pengelstein I) and another hour to get into Kitzbuhel town. The bus from Ki-West to Pengelstein runs every 10 minutes so a good connection. We did 45.2km skiing that day one way. Thoroughly recommended trip.
If you are doing Soll to Brixen, the quickest way is via the gondola to Hohe Salve then the black and then red down into Hoch Brixen (otherwise it's a red and two additional chairs).
We don't ski slowly, so don't I think you'll be able to do much skiing in Kitzbuhel f you intend to ski back to Soll. BTW there is a fantastic hut just above the bottom of the Ki-West gondola.
If you want to ski into Kitzbuhel town (and it is worth "doing" the Hannenkahm) suggest a train back to Hopfgarten and then taxi back to Soll. FYI the Blue (22?) into Kitzbuhel from the top of the Hannenkaham was awful 2 weeks ago. I do not recommend it.

@halfhand, I think you would be pushing it, definitely need to be on the first lift out of Söll in the morning and you might be better starting from Scheffau via the bus as might be quicker access to the Brixen home run (assuming the black / ski route is not open, not sure it is advisable in any case when I did it there were barbed wire fences to avoid and ditches to cross didnt bother again). If you want more time skiing in Kitzbühel then maybe look at getting a bus on the Kitz/Kirchberg to Brixen section on the way back.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks all. Based on the above, if we decide to do Kitz, we'll take a taxi and spend the day there. Otherwise, we'll just explore the extremes of SkiWelt. There does appear plenty to cover. Appreciate the advice.

@halfhand, we've skied over to Kitzbuhel from Hopfgarten. We got there mid morning. Kitzbuhel isn't very well linked from end to end, so we didn't make it back to where we started on skis, so ended up catching a bus back to the train station and then the train back. Personally, I much preferred the SkiWelt to Kitzbuhel. Kitzbuhel appeared full of annoying flat bits.
