Kitzbühel Ski Holidays

“World-Class Skiing and Historic Alpine Charm”

Elegant, vibrant and steeped in skiing history, Kitzbühel is one of Austria's most iconic ski resorts. Home to the world-famous Hahnenkamm downhill race, this beautiful medieval town effortlessly combines exceptional skiing with boutique shopping, outstanding restaurants and a lively après-ski scene.

Whether you're planning a short ski break, a long weekend or a week in the Austrian Alps, Kitzbühel offers something for every skier. With over 200 kilometres of immaculately groomed pistes, modern lift infrastructure and a long ski season, it's easy to see why this resort remains one Austria's true classic ski resorts and one of Europe's most sought-after winter destinations.

On the Mountain 

Few ski resorts can match Kitzbühel's skiing heritage. Every January, Kitzbühel hosts the legendary Hahnenkamm downhillrace, regarded asthe most demanding ski race in the world.

Fortunately, you don't need to be a World Cup racer to enjoy skiing here and it is the resort’s diversity of terrain that attracts skiers of all abilities to Kitzbühel. The ‘KitzSki’ area offers around 215 kilometres of pistes with fast, modern lifts making it easy to explore the entire ski area.

Beginners are well catered for, with gentle nursery slopes around the Hahnenkamm. Intermediate skiers can look forward to miles of scenic blue and red runs winding through forests and across open Alpine terrain and advanced skiers can head for the steeper terrain around Pengelstein and the wide, open slopes of Pass Thurn.

Extensive snowmaking and the local microclimate compensate for the low-ish altitude, maintaining excellent conditions throughout the season.

Off the Mountain 

Kitzbühel is as renowned for its atmosphere as it is for its skiing. The picturesque medieval centre is filled with colourful buildings, designer boutiques, independent shops and welcoming cafés, creating one of Austria's most attractive ski towns.

Après-ski ranges from lively mountain bars to stylish cocktail and wine bars and there are plenty of late-night options to choose from including a casino. Dining is another highlight, with everything from traditional Tyrolean inns and cosy mountain restaurants to international cuisine and award-winning fine dining, making it one of Austria's premier ski destinations for food lovers as well as skiers.

Away from the slopes, visitors can enjoy the Aquarena leisure centre with indoor pools and saunas, horse-drawn sleigh rides, ice skating and tobogganing.
