Pengelstein

A look at old ski atlases proves that Kitzbühel was considered a deep-snow resort long before the freeride boom began. This has not changed even in the age of fat skis. Many powder fans are drawn to the Kitzbüheler Horn or the slopes of the Steinbergkogel. If you venture deeper into the extensive ski area between the Gamsstadt and Mittersill in Salzburg, you will inevitably reach the Pengelstein, another sub-area with great freeride potential.

When the name Kitzbühel is mentioned, almost every winter sports enthusiast associates it with lots of celebrities, the Streif and the world-famous Hahnenkamm race. Only die-hard Kitz connoisseurs will also think of the numerous wide slopes away from the pistes, of which Kitzbühel has quite a few.
