Home » Austria » Kuhtai
Kühtai is one of the highest and most snowsure ski areas in Austria and the Alps, with skiing from December through to May in a normal year. It is also typically quiet on the slopes, making lift queues a rarity. Much of the lodging is slopeside for easy access to the runs. Kühtai's altitude, low-pressure slopes and convenience make it a good choice for beginners throughout the season. The ski school meets in the village centre, a short walk from virtually all accommodation and the new magic carpet conveyor lift. The advantage over some other resorts include the fact that Kühtai's high altitude mean beginners should be able to use the village-side nursery slopes throughout the season; wheras there is often inadequate snow cover on lower slopes at the ends of the season in lower resorts. You are also less likely to be used a slalom post by an expert skier finishing their run down the mountain at Kühtai and the magic carpet is definitely an advantage over a T Bar for first timers. For more experienced skiers there are 40 kilometres (25 miles) of skiing and boarding piste served by a selection of drag lifts, one double chair and three quads with weather-protected pull down hoods, the newest accessing terrain on the Hohe Mut. Much of the terrain is red category, ideal for intermediates. Experts have three blacks plus extensive guided off-piste and ski touring opportunities. In 2004-5 the resort joined seven other resorts to become part of the established 'Glacier Lift Pass', including as it does the glacier lifts on the Stubai, open 365 days a year for guaranteed skiing. Night skiing is available thanks to 10,000 volts powering up the floodlighting runs served by the Hochalter quad every Wednesday and Saturday from 7:30 to 10pm. Cross country skiing is also popular around the resort with 15km of loipe, again benefiting from the snowsure altitude.
