Austria - Salzburg Super Ski Card - Day Trips to Kaprun, Kitzbuhel and Saalbach
Even more resorts to choose from!
For about £60 extra it's possible to replace the Ski Amade Season Pass with the Salzburg Super Ski Card. It is very difficult to drag ourselves from the paradise that is Gastein but we manage it somehow.
With a car and a willing driver it is possible to hit the slopes in a massive range of resorts. Some big world class names are only about an hour away.
Kaprun with its glacier, Kitzbuhel and Saalbach were our first three targets.

Not all slopes register on Skiline - we worked harder than this! |
Kitzbuhel, Kirchberg and Pass Thurn is a comprehensive ski area and it is only an hour and a quarter away. We have had a few holidays in Kitzbuhel and, even though we like it, the skiing is a tad overrated. It relies heavily on the appeal of the iconic Hannenkahm Downhill Race. The town is nice of course. However, with Kirchberg and Pass Thurn all connected it is well worth a look. Definitely worth a day trip.
We drove to Mittersill, parked by the lift station and took to a gondola to take us up to Pass Thurn from where we made our way over to Kirchberg. Then we took a look at the Downhill Course in Kitzbuhel itself. The actual downhill took place 2 days earlier so we were able to ski down some of the route with the blue dye still visible. We managed to avoid the town and its pricey shops and headed back to Pass Thurn and our lift to the valley. The final lift section is not skiable so we could not be late.
