Resort Overview

Small yet perfectly formed, Fieberbrunn is Tirol’s best kept secret and boasts the best snow record in the Kitzbüheler Alps. Fieberbrunn is our second home, our most popular resort and is ideal for short ski breaks, ski weekends, beginners, freeride and families.

Fieberbrunn was once described by one of our guests as 'how a ski resort was meant to be' and is everything the big, mega-resorts are not: A traditional family–friendly village atmosphere, low on commercialism and with genuinely friendly locals. If you are looking for a true taste of Austria, then look no further than up-and-coming Fieberbrunn. Enjoy it now before the secret gets out!

Lifts and Slopes

The resort’s ski area (800-2020 metres) is located on the mountain range between Kitzbühel and Saalbach and offers great skiing locally and on the Schneewinkel Area which offers around 170 kilometres of piste.

The Schneewinkel area (Snow Corner) is made up of a number of resorts most notably Fieberbrunn, St Johann in Tirol and Waidring. An efficient and free resort bus network connects the entire area allowing you to easily day trip to the other resorts. The Kitzbuheler Alps All-Star Pass offers extended access to Saalbach (via nearby Leogang (20 minutes)) and Kitzbuhel (30 minutes).

With its own micro-climate, north-facing slopes and impressive snow record, top-to-bottom skiing lasts well into April. There is snow-making on virtually all of its pistes and some truly atmospheric mountain huts add to the appeal and charm of the area.

Skiing and snowboarding

On piste, the area is best suited to beginner and intermediate skiers whilst off-piste, Fieberbrunn is rapidly earning a reputation as a freeride destination with excellent lift-accessible terrain. Fieberbrunn hosts Austria’s only Big Mountain Competition (www.bigmountain-fieberbrunn.at) and Freeride World Qualifier event which attracts the world’s top riders and is testament to the quality of off-piste terrain here.

Beginner skiers and snowboarders could not ask for more than the wide and gentle slopes at the middle Gondola station (1210 metres) ensuring good snow conditions and views of more than just the car park typical of so many resorts. Intermediates will enjoy a great variety of sweeping runs around the resort and the Schneewinkel area offers plenty of piste mileage.

Whilst advanced and expert skiers will easily cover all of the pisted runs in one day, it is the local snow record, lack of crowds and superb, lift-accessible off-piste that continues to attract the better skiers and snowboarders to Fieberbrunn.
The resort is deservedly popular with snowboarders not only for its modern lift system and freeriding terrain but also for the fun park at the middle station.

Off the slopes

Whilst not on the same scale as the likes of mega-resorts such as St Anton and Ischgl, there is good après-ski to be had at the bottom of the slopes with several bars offering traditional live music or the latest hits all at bar prices well below the likes of St Anton. Other activities available include the resort swimming and sauna complex, a floodlit toboggan run, snow-biking, ice climbing, ski show, snow-rafting, ski school cabaret, snowshoe walking, sleigh rides and day trips to Salzburg, Innsbruck and Kitzbühel.

Eating out is excellent value with a wide choice of traditional and international restaurants and the resort centre also offers plenty of bars, ‘Stuberls’, cafés and a nightclub.
