Kitzbühel is a historic and picturesque town in the Austrian Alps, offering a blend of culture, luxury, and adventure. With 750 years of history, it has evolved from a medieval mining town into one of the world’s most famous ski destinations. Its charming old town, with cobbled streets and colourful buildings, is home to boutique shops, gourmet restaurants, and stylish hotels, so it’s just as appealing off the slopes as on them. Beyond skiing, Kitzbühel offers winter hiking, horse-drawn carriage rides, and wellness retreats, giving you a relaxing alternative if the slopes aren’t your thing. The region is also famous for hosting the Hahnenkamm Race, one of the most challenging downhill ski races in the world. Kitzbühel delivers when it comes to a romantic getaway, a foodie adventure, or a winter sports adventure.
Kitzbühel offers 233 kilometers of varied slopes, which makes it a top choice for skiers of all levels. The resort has 58 modern lifts, which serve as a link between scenic alpine villages like Reith, Aurach, and Jochberg to Kitzbühel’s main ski area. On all sides you’re surrounded by snow-covered forests, wide pistes, and traditional mountain huts. Beginners will love the free practice lifts in the valley, while intermediates can enjoy long, rolling red and blue runs. Advanced skiers can take on the Hahnenkamm Streif, one of the world’s toughest downhill courses, while cross-country skiers and ski tourers also have 70 km of trails to explore.
Kitzbühel has a lively and sophisticated après-ski scene, mixing rustic mountain charm with high-end nightlife. The town’s medieval centre, with its cobbled streets, historic buildings, and elegant shops, is a great place to soak up the atmosphere. Mountain huts give off classic après-ski vibes, turning into social hotspots with music, drinks, and Alpine hospitality. In town, bars range from casual spots filled with ski crowds to stylish lounges attracting the jet set. Clubs keep the energy going late, while quieter, cosy venues provide the perfect place to unwind. Whether you’re after a relaxed café with warm pastries, a buzzy cocktail bar, or a DJ-fuelled mountain party, Kitzbühel has it all.
