Apologies for lifting a quote from another thread, but a newbie snowhead recently wrote the following:
Thanks very much for all the info guys, this is a great forum. Im into music production and recording and the related forums are full of antisocial pedants who make fun of anyone who asks a question.

I think the one near Kitz hence the reason I mentioned that when I asked for clarification. Just not sure why dogoo didn't mention Kitz if that is the case. I know at least one of the other Kirchbergs is near a ski resort.
And before you start jumping down my throat go and take a look at all the threads where I have given people advice on other Austria ski resorts, winter tyres/snowchains, Austrian menus etc etc etc.

Arno youre right it is a bit of a shot in the dark, but I'm getting a great deal on them so think it might be worth buying them and if I don't like them I can always sell them on:)
Parlor, I want to buy because it saves me time and probably a bit of money in the long term and its handy if i want to nip down to the dry slope for an hour:)
Thanks for all the advice

The way I read it ryan was saying that the other (music) forum he frequents is full of anti-social pedants not Snowheads

Maybe doogo doesn't know it is linked to Kitzbuhl.

I would imagine most of them are near ski areas - Austria is full of them. And no I am not going to qualify "near" before you ask.

No I'd rather not, very busy you see, but please continue the good work and tell doogo something about Kirchberg (the one near Kitzbuhl).

I seem to recall that someone asked a question about Kirchberg many, many posts ago. Personally, I'm prepared to gamble that doogo means the Kitzbuhel one.
I stayed there once, for a long weekend, several years ago. It's bigger than it looks, which is not especially helpful; it's not a tiny little hamlet with no life of its own. It has quite a few hotels, plenty of restuarants and bars and seems to be pretty lively. If you want more action, Kitzbuhel is a short cab ride away.
Access to the Kitzbuhel skiing is by a 2 stage chair from just above the village, there are buses which might be useful depending on where you're staying. I don't remember too much queuing, but I think that they're only doubles. Alternatively, you can bus it to the Fleckalmbahn gondola between Kirchberg and Kitzbuhel. You could also bus it in the opposite direction to the Pengelstein gondola. The ski buses around the Kitzbuhel area are generally pretty useless.
You can also get over to Westendorf and from there into the rest of Ski Welt (should you wish to) by bussing it up the valley (away from Kitzbuhel) and taking the new gondola.

I rather think DB has entertained everybody well in this case.
By the way I put my money on Kitzbuhel's Kirchberg too. If this is the case I think experienced skiers would call the resort Kitzbuhel rather than Kirchberg, possibly because sport events are regularly held there.

You know it makes sense.

I've stayed there for three weeks in total, although that was quite a while ago so I'm sure it's changed a bit. At the time I was a beginner (my 3rd, 4th and 7th week on snow I think) and the place suited me fine.
Faster access to the slopes than from Kitz (but you have to catch the bus) and you can either ski back to town directly or just ski to any road in the area (where there will be a very nice bar waiting for you) and the super efficient bus service will get you home easily.
Bars and restuarants are good, and full enough to give an atmosphere without getting packed out. My memory about the skiing is hazy, but there seemd to be lots of easyish stuff and the best snow was always at Pass Thurn.

doogo, We stayed here about 10 years ago. It is within easy walking distance of the gaisberg lifts and backs onto the cross country piste to westendorf. Kirchberg is quite an attractive village but the longer runs are on the hanenkahm/pengestein/kitzbuhler horn hills. I would certainly go back there again.

A healthy difference of view on Kitzbuhel area ski buses.

This year and last year for a week and for several weekends over the last few years. I haven't used the buses a great deal, but whenever I have, I've found them infrequent, late running and overcrowded. I may have been unlucky.
