Kitzbühel ski resort
Kitzbühel is one of Austria’s most sought-after ski destinations. You can expect an irresistible blend of alpine charm, thrilling pistes and luxury hotels. Whether you’re chasing perfect turns, wandering through medieval streets or soaking up the crisp mountain air, you’ll find plenty to see and do here. The ski area spans over 200km of pistes, making it ideal for mixed-ability groups. Intermediates can try out their parallel turns with outstanding views of Wilder Kaiser, while advanced skiers can test their mettle on sections of the Streif. And the varied terrain doesn’t end there! Gentle blues weave through forested valleys and long reds glide across open bowls. Snowboarders and freestylers will love the KitzSki Snowpark at Hanglalm, thanks to its creative layout and fun features.
Getting around is a doddle, so you can really make the most of your time on the mountain. Fast, modern lifts (many of them heated) keep queues short, connecting Kirchberg, Jochberg and Pass Thurn. Cutting-edge snowmaking ensures reliable snow all season long too! Non-skier? Get stuck into winter hiking trails and toboggan runs or unwind at the Aquarena spa. Boutique shops and high-end stores line the pedestrian centre, so you can get your retail therapy fix.
The location
Kitzbühel lies in the heart of the Austrian Tyrol, a region renowned for dramatic peaks, storybook villages and rich traditions. Easily accessible from Innsbruck and Salzburg, it combines the convenience of a major ski hub with buckets of alpine charm. Nestled between the Kitzbüheler Horn and the Hahnenkamm, the town enjoys a sheltered valley setting with exceptional natural beauty. Its medieval centre, marked by colourful façades and cobblestone streets, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. Traditional taverns sit alongside fine-dining restaurants and stylish bars, while mountain huts showcase the comforting flavours of Tyrolean cuisine.
