Kitzbühel

Adventure in Austria

As original as it gets, Kitzbühel is often referenced as the “cradle of skiing.” Built upon the storied history of the world-famous Streif racecourse – one of the hardest racecourses in the world – this destination draws bucket list skiers and riders from around the globe. However, it’s not all about speed when exploring Kitzbühel. Conveniently located within 100-miles of three major international airports (Munich, Salzburg, Innsbruck), tuck into endless perfectly prepared runs, a state-of-the-art lift system, and over 140 miles of downhill slopes. Once the sun sets, treat your taste buds to culinary delights surrounded by stunning panoramic mountain views at one of the area’s 60 huts and mountain restaurants, each unique in its own exceptional way.

THE BIGGEST PARTY AROUND

Once a year, the Hahnenkamm downhill race comes to town, and with it comes the biggest party of the year. Plan a truly unique trip and experience the outstanding festival atmosphere surrounding the race, including world-class side events and non-stop festivities that swing into Kitzbühel’s bars and pubs during the evenings.

AUSTRIA FOR ALL

Due to the formidable Streif course, Kitzbühel attracts many die-hard adventure seekers. However, Hahnenkamm Mountain is just one area of skiable terrain at the destination. The Kitzbüheler Horn to the north-east, while smaller, provides a great selection of solid intermediate runs at a relatively high elevation. Additionally, the Horn area also holds the only freestyle terrain at Kitzbüheler, featuring a snow park, halfpipe, and boardercross course.

HIT YOUR ANGLES

The most scenic place to take a selfie is on top of the Steinbergkogel ski lift with the stunning “Rettenstein” mountain playing as a backdrop. For those aiming for a unique picture, strike a pose in front of the starting gate of “The Streif” on Hanenkamm mountain.

Local Hack
