  A very enjoyable holiday. The Kitzspitz hotel is very good, the food is excellent and the staff are very friendly. Unfortuntely, the local cross-country ski trails in St Jakob were in poor condition because of the warm weather. Those in Hochfilzen were much better. Apparently, Hochfilzen has reliable snow conditions hence the location of the International Biathlon Stadium. The walking trails were good and I especially enjoyed the route from Hochfilzen to St Jakob. This is basically Route 5 in the Inntravel information booklet going in the opposite direction and missing out St Ulrich. I notice that Inntravel mentions that the route is mostly on the road. I followed an off-road route which shared the path with a cross country track! This seems to be quite normal as there were a lot of footprints! An advantage of the lack of snow was that it made some of the higher summer hiking routes available, providing spectacular views of the surrounding mountains.

  This was our second visit for XC skiing at Kitspitz, the first one being pre-pandemic. Inntravel and the Kitzspitz hotel lived up to their usual very high standards.

  The Kitzspitz is a family run hotel. If you are looking for the nightlife associated with après-ski, this is not the place for you. But if you like quietness, good food and friendliness, this is a good choice. Children and dog friendly, the children at the time of our visit were very well behaved.

  Snow conditions were not ideal for XC, some of the trails near the hotel with gaps in the snow or just ice. But the frequent and free bus service allowed us to venture to areas with better conditions, all less than 30 minutes away.

  The area is good for the beginner/intermediate XC ski-touring. For those who are looking for greater exertion, the trails also allow for skating style and the biathlon area up at Hochfilzen is ideal for serious training.

  An excellent holiday with very good accommodation and a wide range of things to do. The trail L11 was a particular highlight: I took the bus to Hochfilzen and did it in the opposite direction to the suggestion - and I think there was more downhill that way. It was very easy to link the trails together and, although retreating snow restricted some outings, the winter wanderwegs were a pleasure to follow on foot as an alternative. The hotel wellness area is very well set up, and relaxing in the rest room, watching the sunset whilst the open fire gently crackled, was a particular delight on several afternoons.
