Considered one of the best ski resorts in Austria, Kitzbühel is a pretty town whose old centre with its cobbled streets still retains a medieval charm.
The symbol of the town is a chamois climbing on the rocks, a clear reference to the beautiful mountains in the area, which have become celebrities attracting the attention of a worldwide audience.
We are not exaggerating: thousands of spectators around the world follow the electrifying Hahnenkamm ski race, considered one of the most spectacular, and the other major international sporting events that take place in Kitzbühel, such as the ATP Bet at Home Cup in tennis and the ITU World Series in triathlon.
Whether you are a daredevil skier who loves speed, a leisurely walker with a slow pace, an experienced mountain biker looking for the most adrenalin-pumping descents, or a nature lover who thrills at a sunset over the lake, Kitzbühel will fascinate you.
Needless to say, most tourists come to Kitzbühel to ski. Always at the top of the list of Austria’s best ski resorts, Kitzbühel is world-famous for the stunning scenery of the Hahnenkamm and Kitzbüheler Horn, hundreds of kilometres of slopes and modern lifts.
Forbidden for beginners is the legendary Streiff downhill run, considered one of the most difficult slopes in the world, with steep slopes, undulating terrain, sliding paths and short uphill sections that lead to extremely high speeds and breathtaking jumps. It is used for one of the most spectacular downhill races in the world but you can try it too… if you dare.
Don’t you love skiing? Have you fallen in love with Kitzbühel and want to return in summer? The two most popular activities in this season are trekking and mountain biking, two different ways to enjoy the area’s splendid mountain landscapes.
More than a thousand kilometres of hiking trails suitable for all levels, 170 kilometres of running and Nordic walking trails and 1,200 kilometres of cycling routes await you. Experienced hikers can also try their hand at via ferratas and climbing, while more experienced riders can set off from here to ride the Bike Trail Tirol, a fascinating 1,000-kilometre-long mountain bike route divided into 32 stages.
For a day of total relaxation or a rest after sporting exertions, the romantic Schwarzsee lake, about 3 km from the town centre, is ideal. You can take an energising swim in the somewhat chilly waters of the lake or sunbathe lying on a sunbed.
Kitzbühel is essentially a mountain resort and tourists come here mainly for outdoor activities, but this does not mean that the town is devoid of things to see.
The historical centre of Kitzbühel perfectly preserves the medieval atmosphere in its two main streets: Vorderstadt and Hinterstadt. Characteristic stone houses with Gothic gables and flower-decked balconies create picture-postcard scenery, while cobbled streets lead to hidden squares and secret courtyards.
Traditional Tyrolean architecture blends harmoniously with international luxury boutiques, creating a unique atmosphere where history and modernity coexist. The wrought-iron signs of historic shops and colourful facades reflect centuries of traditional craftsmanship, while elegant cafés and pastry shops offer regional specialities in period settings.
Take a look at the city’s two most beautiful churches, the neo-Gothic Pfarrkirche St Andreas and the rococo Liebfrauenkirche: the latter is especially worth a visit inside for its elaborate frescoes.
The town museum is a good introduction to local history, from prehistoric origins to contemporary times. Ample space is given to… guess what? Yes, winter sports. After all, it is these that have made the town’s fortune, isn’t it?
On top of the Kitzbühel Horn grows an alpine garden where edelweiss, arnica, bluebells and other delicate and fragrant alpine flowers and plants bloom. It can be reached by car, but it is much more impressive to get there by cable car.
The old town offers the most authentic atmosphere with charming boutique hotels in medieval buildings and luxury hotels combining Tyrolean tradition and modern comforts. The area guarantees pedestrian access to all services and the opportunity to fully experience the city’s elegance.
The Hahnenkamm area, at the foot of the ski lifts, is the ideal choice for skiers with ski-in/ski-out hotels and luxury chalets offering direct access to the slopes. During the summer, the area allows immediate departures for hikes and mountain activities. The Kitzbüheler Horn district offers scenic accommodation with spectacular views and quick connections to the lifts, ideal for those seeking tranquillity without sacrificing amenities.
Residential areas such as Reith and Aurach offer superior spa hotels and resorts surrounded by greenery, perfect for wellness stays with private spas and gourmet restaurants. Jochberg, just a few kilometres from the centre, provides a more authentic atmosphere with traditional guesthouses and agritourisms that keep local traditions alive, also offering cheaper solutions for smaller budgets while maintaining the typically Austrian quality of service.
Innsbruck airport is about 50 kilometres away and offers international connections, while Munich (135 km) and Salzburg (120 km) are alternatives with intercontinental flights. From Innsbruck airport, shuttle buses and taxis cover the distance in about one hour.
Kitzbühel railway station is one kilometre from the centre and is served by the Austrian ÖBB railway with direct connections from Innsbruck (1 hour), Salzburg (2 hours via Wörgl) and Vienna (4.5 hours with change in Innsbruck). Regional trains provide frequent connections to major Tyrolean cities, while international services allow arrivals from Munich, Zurich and other European destinations.
Bycar, Kitzbühel can be reached via the A12 Inntal motorway as far as the Wörgl exit, then 30 kilometres on the B170 state road. From the south, the Brenner Pass road (A22) leads to Innsbruck and then to Kitzbühel. An Austrian motorway sticker is required to use the motorways. The town centre is mainly pedestrianised, but paid parking spaces are available in the surrounding areas. During the ski season and major events, it is advisable to reserve parking spaces in advance due to the high influx of international visitors at this time of year.
