I'm lucky enough to be planning 3 ski trips this season. The first two at a resort I will only identify as 'N' (I come in peace... play nicely :lol:.), and the third unknown at the moment although we're thinking of Hintertux so we can make it later in the year without worrying too much about snow cover.
Lift passes are obviously not cheap, and I'm trying to find out whether it's better VFM getting a season pass for the whole lot instead. From the bits of info I've pieced together it looks like it is worth it even if just for the first 2 hols, but not sure if this is the case, and if so who to buy it off.
If anyone can help I'd be grateful. The wider the area it covers the better (not sure if including Hintertux is pushing it a bit far though), as we could use areas covered by the season pass to help decide on the 3rd hol.
Cheers for any tips......
Wildschonau - season pass?

Take a look at the Kitzbhuler Allstar card. It covers the Wildschonau for your first two trips & the Kitsteinhorn Glacier for your last trip.

Lift pass prices for the Wildschonau to compare.

Thanks for that Finn :thumbup: We got the Kitzbueler Alpen pass last year (just for Kitz itself). I thought I saw at the time that 'N' was included but had started to doubt myself and couldn't find a specific reference to it afterwards :roll:
Looking at the prices on those links, perhaps it's not worth getting the season pass. I'm seeing 520.00 for the big 'un, against 156.00 + 156.00 + 176.00 (or 140.00 if going to Kitzsteinhorn 17.05.10 onwards) making a max of 488.00. Perhaps I should look again when I'm more awake. Or just emigrate to Austria and be done with it... ) Yodelai-hoo. I wish.
P.S. good shout on the K glacier. Piste map up top looks good for my confidence building mission for this season.

Will look up the bergbahn later today.As a guide, I paid 217 for my season pass last year, and 211 the year before. This is a discounted senior rate, so maybe this years adult season pass may be about 280/300.....
Whenever they cotton on that the seniors do much more skiing than the normals, we may be in for a big senior price hike!

I love naughty ideas, Emma. Here's a wee story:
We all have our seasons passes chipped into our swatches. So, my ski buddy Mel had inadvertantly worn his wife's watch, when going out skiing. Sure enough, when entering the gondola turnstile, there was a knock on the lift man's window ~ "Margaret!" he said to Mel!
That was the moment we realised that when you operate the machine, your photo comes up on a screen inside the lift cabin.......
