Poster: A snowHead
|
Can anybody suggest slopes suitable for off-piste without a guide in the Kitzbuehel area? I will be a solo but experienced skier.
Thanks in advance.

davidthornton, I'm off to Kitz in Feb but chose it to suit my OH more than me. Here is what Ultimate Ski say. I'm sure someone will be along with first hand advice, but if you're Solo get a guide would be my advice.
Kitzbühel off-piste
Although Kitzbühel is not particularly celebrated for its off-piste skiing, it has plenty. It’s just a question of finding it. The obvious way, of course, is to find a guide. The Hahnenkamm area has some good off-piste skiing in the trees. On the Kitzbüheler Horn, there’s usually good ungroomed snow near the Eggl draglift (B9). Bichlalm, once a non-descript little ski area overlooked by the Kitzbüheler Horn has been transformed into a memorable off-piste-cum-touring area where a snowcat takes up to 14 skiers or boarders into exhilarating back-country powderfields. It’s well worth seeking out the off-piste high above Pass Thurn, where the altitude means there’s a good chance of powder remaining in good condition.

davidthornton, on top of all the routes off Steinbergkogel and Pengelstein mentioned by espri, there is also a 'freeride' ungroomed area leading from the top of Steinbergkogel down to the Ehrenbachgraben. They call it 'powder heaven'! Great stuff. Also the runs under the chairlift taking you from the Ehrenbachgraben up to the top of Steinbergkogel are fun! Generally there is loads of off piste all around the Kitbühel area. Have fun!
