Snowboarding in Kirchdorf

Snowboarding facilities are seriously limited in Kirchdorf itself although its not a bad place to learn in peace and quiet, with a rope tow to get you up the gentle, but not too flat, slope. Head for St Johann for more choice, the varied natural and a park incorporating a 60m half pipe make it much more appealing prospect for the more experienced snowboarder. The natural terrain features off the forested trails and powder fields have a lot of mileage in them, and access to the top of the slopes by gondola or chair is easy. Indeed St Johann is a major 'boarding centre now and home of some of the world's best known snow surfers in recent seasons. Travelling in the opposite direction Waidring has a half pipe which opened in 1997 among its many natural attractions. The Kitzbüheler Alpen pass coverage of more than two dozen other ski areas nearby means there's much more choice available nearby if you're prepared to use the bus.
