Kitzbühel

A historic medieval town makes Kitzbühel one of Austria's most attractive ski areas - and it has a very famous downhill race.

Kitzbühel

Kitzbühel combines medieval charm with world-class skiing to create one of Austria's most prestigious winter destinations. Home to the legendary Hahnenkamm downhill race, where elite athletes tackle the heart-stopping Streif course, this sophisticated ski area offers miles of immaculately groomed pistes spanning three distinct areas. The historic town, with its 750-year-old painted façades and car-free center, transforms into a winter wonderland where cobblestone streets lined with designer boutiques, traditional cafés, and gourmet restaurants buzz with cosmopolitan energy. Skiing here combines tradition with innovation – modern heated lifts whisk visitors to the slopes while early and late season skiing is made possible on the Kitzbüheler Horn thanks to state-of-the-art snowmaking. After days spent bouncing through powder bowls or practicing on gentle beginner slopes, visitors can indulge in Kitzbühel's legendary après-ski scene at historical institutions like the Londoner pub, savor Tyrolean specialties in ancient wine cellars, or join the glitterati at exclusive events that have earned the resort its reputation as one of the most elegant ski towns in the Alps. Kitzbühel's unique blend of sporting heritage, authentic charm, and sophisticated atmosphere creates an irresistible winter destination where tradition and luxury seamlessly intertwine.
