Tips for Kitzbuhel and Val Gardena

I am headed to Kitz and Val Gardena in Feb and looking for tips and advice on both.

1) resturants or activities besides skiing 2) areas or lifts that are fun to lap 3) advice for hiring a guide. Looking to ski powder if there’s fresh snow and want to understand skiing off piste in Europe as I’ve never skied in Europe before. I understand none of it is avy controlled but will our guide assume we have beacons and probes.

Thanks in advance.
