Getting started on a lap
Description
With terrain facing every aspect and all of it lying well above 2000 metres, Kühtai is a place where you can virtually guarantee you'll find some powder.
Much of the terrain is open and adventurous skiers will be rewarded with almost endless lines. Every time you ski in Kühtai you seem to find another little gem, and the routes described here should be considered the entry points to a resort that just keeps on giving.
None of the runs described here are long or extremely challenging but all are fun and likely to put a smile on your face. Kühtai in a nutshell, in other words!
