 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi everyone
My first post after plenty of google searches bringing me to snowheads, coming up with anonymous names!
We are heading to Kitzbuhel at Feb half term (6th time there i think?). We have skied mostly the Kitz area but since the All star card came out a couple of years ago, have sampled Soll, Scheffau and Skiwelt for a day each, so not seen them extensively.
After finding a boarder cross course and a ski cross course in Les 2 Alpes last Easter, I am hungry for more, found them such good fun.
I am pretty sure there isn't one in the Kitz area (although would love to be corrected) and a bit of googling has mentioned one in the Hartkaiser hill (south side) at Soll/Ellmau? Seems to be a 'championship' one at St Johann too.
Have not yet managed to locate these any more specifically than said above.
Anyone know of these runs/trails or of any others in the Allstar pass area? (Kitzbuhel, Skiwelt, Kaprun, Zell Am Zee, Skicircus, Fieberbrun, Waidring, Wildschonau, Alpbachtal) Nearer to (or easily accessible from ) Kitz the better!
Thanks a lot.
Craig

There was a skier cross race in St. Johann earlier this month but I don't think that the course is kept available for the general public. I don't know of any boarder/skier cross tracks in the KitzAlps area. There are fun parks with jumps, tables, rails, etc., e.g. on the Hanglalm near Pass Thurn and on the Kitzbühler Horn. Also above Ellmau, as you mention, and in Westendorf.

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

Ah, I thought that may be the case with St Johann
Ellmau and Westendorf as i mention - do you mean there are cross tracks or just fun parks?
Cheers

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Parks, I think. The Westendorf one is pretty good.

vanginger, Only rail/jump parks in Ellmau & Westendorf. St. Johann probably won't be open to public either  I share your frustration for the lack of skicross courses in the area! Kaprun could have one? France seem to be more on the ball with this...

Just to confirm: I was in St. Johann last Wednesday and the skicross course is gone, even the jumps/humps that were there before the race.

I was in Saalbach today and saw a ski cross course on the Bernkogel. It seemed to be open to the public, as far as I could tell from the lift. Saalbach's on the Kitz AllStar card but a good distance away from Kitzbühel!

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

I saw it a couple of weeks ago and it is open to the public. I also saw the helicopter land at it three times in the week I was there 
Please be careful?

by helicopter maybe but I reckon it's two trains and a bus. Kitz-Zell am See, Z am S-Maishofen, and then bus. I suggest 90 minutes.

I haven't ever come across a skiercross track in Austria but loads of them in France alright.

You know it makes sense.
|

From Kitzbühel you can take the train to Zell am See (mosty without changing trains) -a bit under an hour- but after that you need a bus to Saalbach. Not the way I'd want to spend a skiing day!
