Some questions about Kirchberg, Kitzbühel, St. Johann in Tirol, Söll, Westendorf, etc.
I am planning on going to this area in February. I was wondering if it is
easily possible to stay in one town and take the bus or train to all the ski areas listed above. Which would be the cheaper and more convenient place t ostay? Also, I heard that this whole area was slated to be linked into one big massive interlinked area like Les Portes du Soleil. Is this true? Is is linked now? Thanks Danke |

hlink.net... I was wondering if it is easily possible to stay in one town and take the bus or train to all the ski areas listed above. Maybe not easily possible to get to all from all, but possible. Your most convenient bet may be to take advantage of the occasional "ski trips" organised by ski schools, bus companies or local travel company reps. Which would be the cheaper and more convenient place tostay? Cheaper tends to mean less convenient, either as a resort or as accommodation. Probably the best combination of price and convenience for the whole area would be found in the resorts of Brixen or Hopfgarten (although I don't find them attractive and their local skiing is on the sunny side). Also, I heard that this whole area was slated to be linked into one big massive interlinked area like Les Portes du Soleil. Is this true? Is is linked now? It is supposed to be with the addition of linking lifts between Kirchberg and Westendorf. Having also spent some seasons in the Portes du Soleil, I don't think you could compare them even if the linking did happen. The joining up of the Skiwelt with Westendorf, the Kitzbühel area and St Johann would create a giant C instead of a circuit (unless some major lift-building took place at the other end of the Skiwelt) with the Kitzbühel area out towards Pass Thurn on a limb - and that's not particularly well-linked at the best of times. The last I heard, the Kirchberg-Westendorf plan was stalled on landowner disputes (what's new?). Just to comment on Ian's post: the environmental movement is strong, growing (due to EU traffic problems) and angry (due to past ski area betrayals) in the Tyrol. However, a major part of the influence against ski area expansion is brought by ski tourers from all over (but especially from population and political centres like Innsbruck), who wish to keep their favourite touring areas untouched by lifts. -- Steve http://www.skiseefeld.com/ |
