Kitzbüheler Alps Ski Touring Guide

<p>The Kitzbühel and Tux Alps with their particularly ski-friendly slate mountains are a landscape with great opportunities for enjoyable ski tours. The touring terrain of the Kitzbühel Alps often offers wonderful alpine meadows right up to the summit region, perfect for beginners. The Tux Alps are particularly interesting for connoisseurs, as they are often one step higher and more challenging. The Zillertal Alps go one better in this respect: there are already racy, high alpine ski tour destinations for spring - the salt in the soup, so to speak, of this tour menu, which shows attractive opportunities for even experienced ski mountaineers.</p> <p>Sepp Brandl and Gerhard Hirtlreiter are profound connoisseurs of the Tyrolean mountains and are out and about there in all seasons. In this guide, they present 50 rewarding ski tours, all of which inspire in their own way, from popular classics to secluded "insider tips". When selecting the routes, the authors have taken care to offer suitable destinations for different preferences as well as weather and avalanche conditions. This means that there are suitable routes for almost every taste and under any conditions: from flat alpine "Mugeln" in the Wildschönau to glaciated three-thousand-metre peaks in the Zillertal Alps.</p> <p>The format and design of the "blue" ROTHER SKI GUIDE is based on the tried and tested "red series" of the ROTHER HIKING GUIDE: precise descriptions of the ascent, tour maps with the route marked as well as route descriptions with information on valley towns and starting points, altitude differences and walking times, requirements, avalanche risk and slope orientation, favorable season, variants and refreshment stops make it easier to select and plan the routes and find your way around the mountain. This ski guide also contains tips for safe and nature-friendly behavior when touring. Travel options by train and bus are also listed, where available.</p
