Winter > Skiing > What's New from the Lift Companies in the Kitzbüheler Alpen
Once again this year the lift companies are
investing in the ski slopes of the Kitzbüheler Alpen,
particularly in the snow making facilities. Also important is the building
of modern lifts: comfortable and warm gondolas and cable cars are a given. You are sure to have a super week's skiing in the Kitzbüheler Alpen.

More than 80 % of the slopes will be covered in machine made snow - as well as natural snow!
In the Kitzbüheler Alpen, a compact snow base of
just 20 to 30 cm is sufficient to have
fantastic pistes and skiing conditions!
The reason for this is the type of ground surface:
... no rocks, just moist grass and pastures!
Useful information:
In just three days the snow machines can cover the Kitzbüheler Alpen in a solid base of snow!
