Ski Safari Stretching at Both Ends (Kitzbuhel, Austria)
Years ago, the Kitzbühel inaugurated the “Ski Safari”, a neat tour of the entire ski area from Pass Thurn to Aschau, marked by jolly elephant signs. Even reasonable intermediates could notch up 50,000 vertical feet, a record envied by heli-skiers. This year, the tour has been stretched at both ends. A new link has been built at the south joining the Kitzbühel lift system with Mittersill in the P valley. Of greater importance, greater terrain-wise, is the KiWest gondola which rises across the valley from Ashau upward into the Westendorf ski lift system. Westendorf is part of the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser, already a vast interlinked ski area. Possibilities almost without limit.
