Things to do for non-skiers in Kitzbuhel and St. Anton Austria in late March

My husband and I will be traveling to Innsbruck, Kitzbuhel and St. Anton in late March. My hubby will be skiing in the mornings and exploring the areas with me the rest of the day. I am looking for suggestions on what to see and do in these areas. Thanks for any guidance you can give me.

In St Anton, if its a nice day, buy a walkers pass and take the Galzigbahn and have lunch with your husband at one of the restaurants at the top. Or continue on the Valugabahn and lunch at the Valuga View restaurant. Or take the bus to Lech and meet him for lunch there. Then walk around town, then take the bus back to St Anton. Go sledding from the top of Gampen.

In Kitzbuehel, gamble at the Kitzbuehel Casino. Or take the train to Zell am See.

We took a day bus tour while skiing in Kitzbuhel. We found there were a number of different destinations to choose from. Or, as someone else said, you could take a train to nearby city.

If you can ride a bike I highly recommend renting one of the ski-bikes and taking a couple slopes with that. It's not skiing, but it's a lot of fun.

Kitz has a good apres-ski; there's plenty to do.

Non-skiing activities in ski areas tend to be post-ski nightlife activities. That said, Austria has a lot of winter walking tracks where snow is groomed (packed) for hiking.

Explore the sbnow-covered Kitzbüheler Alpen in Tyrol on a winter hike.
The cleared trails for winter hiking lead through an idyllic winter
landscape. Enjoy the picturesque views of the snow-covered Kitzbüheler
Alpen. Enjoyment is never far off when winter hiking, as all winter
hiking trails lead past rest stops and inns.

For me, there are few things as rewarding as a nice hike in nature.

I'm not familiar with St Anton but visited Feldkirch many years ago, which I remember liking. If you have a car, Stift Stams is close by. Innsbruck is fairly close if you have the time, as is Mittenwald in Bavaria.

Near to Kitzbuhel I liked Zell am See (not sure about the time of the year). Kufstein, with its old town and castle, is well worth a visit.
