Kitzbühel Ski Holidays

The combination of friendly locals and striking mountain scenery makes for an unforgettable stay in Kitzbühel ski resort. With more than 50 high-spec lifts, 179km of Alpine skiing and a further 36km of cross-country skiing, Kitzbühel is a haven for snow lovers. Whilst the skiing in Kitzbühel is more geared to intermediate and advanced skiers, there are a number of lifts serving the green practice slopes which are free of charge, allowing first-time skiers to get to grips with the basics before investing in a pass.

The terrain, as with skiers, is best suited to beginners and intermediates. Boarders should head for the Kitzbüheler Horn where there is a half pipe, fun park and boardercross course. There are, however, quite a few drag lifts around Kitzbühel ski resort, which often snowboarders try to avoid. Don’t let this put you off though, there is plenty that can be accessed around the resort without the need of a drag lift, including a vast amount of off-piste.

There are lots of restaurants with traditional Austrian cooking dominating the scene. Most of the best regional cooking is in the resort’s many hotels. Boasting such an abundance of eateries both on and off the mountain ensures that there is something to suit everyone. Huberbräu-Stüberl and Hotel Rasmushof are amongst our favourites for hearty Austrian specialities. You’ll find everything from rooftop sushi at KITZnBAR to fresh seafood at 1st Lobster. For a special occasion, head to The Gourmet Restaurant Tennerhof in the five-star Hotel Tennerhof.

Kitzbühel boasts many of the typical activities that non-skiers will love, such as hiking, tobogganing, ice skating and curling; there are, however, plenty of fun events that take place in the resort. The Hahnenkamm race is the talk of the skiing world every January, and the unique Snow Polo World Cup takes place here as well, giving you plenty of spectating to enjoy.
