Widely regarded as one of Autria's best tourist destinations, Kitzbühel is a pretty Tyrolean town which really doeas appear to have it all - breathtaking scenery, typical and traditional atmosphere, style, and plenty of things to do year round.
The Hahnenkamm area is home to the famous Hahnenkamm World Cup Downhill race on one of Kitzbuhel's most challenging pistes The Streif. Strong intermediate level and above skiers can cover the same terrain as World Cup Downhill Course skiers.
The area is also supported by a first class lift system - the introduction of the 3S Bahn links Kitzbühel to the Jochberg/Resterhhe ski area - opening up more choice of runs. The fashionable resort also offers stylish restaurants, sophisticated nightspots and its own casino. Aurach is a charming village just 5km south of Kitzbhel with easy access to the Kitzbhel ski area by free ski bus.
