I think the difference between the Wildschonau 6 day pass and the Kitzbuheler allstar pass is less then the cost of two single day passes for another area. -- Alex Heney, Global Villager Don't play stupid with me!

If you get the All; Is it ever possible to ski the allstar area without using bus links? http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jonatha...llstararea.JPG Thanks, Jon.

Err No - you can't even ski the 3 resorts of Wildschonau area without using the bus This link gives a pretty good idea about the unconnectedness of the ski areas http://skimap.kitzalps.com/?ContentName=skiwelt&Lang=en Paul |

If you get the All; Is it ever possible to ski the allstar area without using bus links? http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jonatha...llstararea.JPG Thanks, Jon. Sorry for the delay in responding. The answer is no. The only two areas that you can get between only using the free ski bus are the Ski Welt and Kitzbuhel areas, using the link at Ki West. Even within each of the 7 "local" areas that combine for the allstar pass, you often need a ski bus to get between different bit - In the Wildschonau as already mentioned, in Kitzbuhel to get between the Kitbuheler Horn and the rest of the area, in the Schneewinkel to get between any of the four main groups of slopes, and I think you might need to in the Zell am Zee/Kaprun area too, but haven't been there. -- Alex Heney, Global Villager How many of you believe in telekinesis?
