Kitzbühel is located in north-eastern Tyrol, around 95 kilometers east of Innsbruck. The sophisticated city is internationally known as one of the most important winter sports locations in the Alps. Who doesn’t know the famous FIS Hahnenkamm race? In addition, the annual Kitzbühel Generali Tennis Open Air is gaining in importance.
The town center, which is well worth seeing, is partly still surrounded by an old castle wall. The houses are all beautifully maintained and colorfully restored. You can see straight away that money is at home here, as you will find a large number of exclusive shops and cafes. In any case, the town invites you to stroll, as the town center is largely free of cars.
Incidentally, the city is celebrating 750 years of Kitzbühel in 2021.
Holidaymakers in Kitzbühel have 53 cable cars and lifts and 170 kilometers of pistes at their disposal in the local ski area, plus 32 kilometers of trails for cross-country skiers.
In summer there are 120 km to explore by mountain bike and 500 km with hiking boots. Other attractions include six tennis and four golf courses, the Kitzbühel swimming pool, Austria’s only curling hall and the beautiful Schwarzsee.
Tourism in the high-price segment deserves special mention, as many celebrities come here during the Hahnenkamm race, among others.
