 Poster: A snowHead
|
I believe this link involves taking a bus between the Westendorf lift and the Kitz area lifts, does anyone think it's a worthwhile add on for someone staying in Westendorf?
As the lift pass that includes Kitz and the SkiWelt is only about 22 Euros more than the SkiWelt pass we are thinking it might be fun to be able to go over to Kitz. But it depends on how frequent the bus link is and if you get stuck while the bus drivers have a Mittagspause?

Bus runs pretty frequently, it's only about 10 mins. Does open up a lot of new skiing, so worth heading over for a day at least. Your accommodation or the tourist office will be able to tell you the bus times.
The KiWest piste is a nice run anyway, worth doing even if you just plan to take the gondola back up to Westendorf.

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

janette, definitely worth it IMO. The run down to Ki-west is lovely & as clarky999 says, the buses are frequent & its only a short journey.

The current issue of the Kitzbüheler Anzeiger (10. Jänner) contains a report which claims that a 6-day All Star card is only €7 dearer than the SkiWelt 6-day card. That doesn't match with what is currently on the website, where the difference is the €22 you mention. Maybe, if you have the chance, you should ask about this before committing yourself to buying the pass. The report also mentions that anyone who has already bought a 6-day card for one area (i.e. SkiWelt or Kitzbühel), can buy a day ticket for the other area for €15. The report starts by saying that "The SkiWelt is going onto the offensive..." with respect to the Kitzbüheler Alpen All Star Card. Maybe the web site just hasn't caught up yet.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks for the advice, may have to wait until we get there to find out the best deal for a day over on the Kitz slopes.

Get up Westendorf early and enjoy a long empty run down to Ki-West.
Worth a trip over for a day - definitely.
Bus is short and easy.

I'm convinced already, just want to see if I can get the 7 euro version the espri mentions rather than paying 22 extra, that will be a few more weissbier at the end of the day!

Hi Janette,
We've done Ki-west to Kitz a few times,as clarky has said this is a great run early in the morning.
If you get a move on you will be able to get up to Pass Turn where the snow is excellant.
Do it on another day as well and visit the ice hotel and ski the Hahnenkamm.
Enjoy

Or maybe the report is wrong. I hope it is the websites not caught up, because with the 6 day SkiWelt at 209.50, that would mean the Kitzalp card would only be 216.50, rather than the 232 shown on the various websites.
And then it would work out cheaper for me (staying in Niederau) to get a 6 day Kitzalp than to get a 4 day Ski Juwel plus a 2 day Ski Welt (which come to 225 between them).

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

I have just phoned the SkiWelt Marketing GmbH and the lady there only knows the prices as on the website. So I fear the report in the paper is false. She said she would check further but I wouldn't hold your breath! It did seem unlikely that they would change the prices in the middle of the season - they would have had a riot on their hands from folk who had bought the ticket earlier.

IIRC the AllStar pass also covers the train between Kitz and Brixen which may be helpful at beginning/end of day.

You know it makes sense.

Definately worth it, ki west run is great and if you plan your day you can get across the 3s to Pass thurn etc, great views and generally the best snow in the area. The bus is easy, regular and short.
I will be in Kirchberg this year and have stayed in Kitz and the ski welt in the past and I always get the Allstar pass, its a no brainer especially if you like to travel
