The choice of blue and red runs is extensive. Lots of wide open slopes on the Kitzbuhler Horn and the scenic area of Pass Thurn provides varied terrain. You will also enjoy 'following the elephants' on the 35km 'ski safari'! The Hahnenkamm presents an extensive , interlinked network of 54 lifts which encompasses the areas of Kirchberg, Aschau, Aurach, Jochberg and Pass Thurn.
