Kitzbuhel

Kitzbühel, a picturesque town where medieval streets meet modern alpine luxury, is Austria's chic ski resort that charms year-round with its stunning mix of old-world character and contemporary flair. For luxury hotels and spa retreats, base yourself in the elegant town centre near the Hahnenkamm lift. Boutique and chic design hotels are popular in the vibrant Vorderstadt area, while budget and family-friendly stays are best found in nearby Kirchberg or Jochberg. Whether you’re here for the slopes or summer hikes, Kitzbühel has a hotel to match your style.

Kitzbühel is a top year-round destination. In winter, it’s known for the legendary Hahnenkamm downhill ski race and 170km of pistes across two main ski areas, with plenty for snowboarders too. Come summer, it transforms into a stunning alpine retreat with over 1200km of hiking trails, challenging bike routes, and excellent climbing spots. Golfers are spoiled with four courses in town and 30 more nearby. For a slower pace, stroll around scenic Schwarzsee lake, perfect for picnics and a swim. Visit Museum Kitzbühel for fascinating local history and skiing heritage, and don’t miss the Baroque beauty of the Franziskaner Der Immakulata Church.

Don't forget that if you're planning a skiing holiday, the best places to stay in Kitzbuhel will be incredibly busy over Christmas, New Year, February half term and Easter. So either book well ahead, or try to arrange your stay over the quieter periods.

Travel Information

• Those travelling to Kitzbühel for the skiing can visit anytime from October to March, with there being an average 200 days of skiing per year! Be warned though that prices will be higher around Christmas time, so it may be best to visit towards the end of the season - when the snow's still surprisingly good, (some say March is best), and the pistes are nice and empty.
• That said, if you fancy a bit of a buzz when you visit then be sure to come around the end of January when the annual Hahnenkamm Race is held.
• If you're flying in from abroad, the nearest options are Salzburg Airport (74km away) and Innsbruck Airport (97km away).
• From Salzburg, take the bus towards Lofer Tourismusverband, then onto St. Johann in Tirol Bahnhof and then to Kitzbühel Griesgasse. This journey should take abour 2 hours 20 minutes. If you rent a car and drive, however, the journey time will be cut in half.
• From Innsbruck, hop on the bus towards Innsbruck Hbf, then on a train to Wörgl Hbf, and finally onto another train towards Kitzbühel Hahnenkamm. This takes around 2 hours 44 minutes.
