Signposted ski tours on groomed slopes

The signposted ski tours on the resort’s groomed slopes take you to the Gaisberg, the Bichlalm (along ski route 52) and, along ski route 56, to the Schwarzkogel and Resterkogel mountains. KitzSki, Kitzbühel Tourismus and the Kitzbüheler Alpen tourist association have established the routes to cater for the recent trend towards ski touring on groomed slopes.

Rules of conduct for ski tourers

  • 1. Please observe warnings and local rules
  • 2. Stay off a piste or section of a piste if it is closed. The use of snow groomers – particularly when cable winches are involved – or the use of explosives for avalanche control, etc. can cause life-threatening situations. Pistes may therefore be closed for safety reasons while the work is carried out.
  • 3. Climb the piste only at the side and in single file.
  • 4. The pistes should only be crossed at places that are clearly visible and with enough distance from one another.
  • 5. Ski only around the edge of pistes that have just been groomed. Tracks that have frozen solid over night can severely affect the quality of the pistes.
  • 6. Leave the pistes at the designated time (depending on place!)
  • 7. Make yourself visible. Use headlights, reflective clothing etc. if it is dark or there is poor visibility.
  • 8. If there are pistes which are specially designated for tourers, always use these.
  • 9. Do not take dogs onto the pistes.
  • 10. Use designated parking spaces and pay any parking fees.
