Kitzbühel summary (resort name also written as Kitzbuhel)

Kitzbühel is famous for having one of the most demanding runs of the FIS downhill calender, the Hahnenkamn. Extensive coverage of snow making now compensates for the lowish altitude (Kitzbühel used to struggle during mild seasons.) 165 km of piste are pitched at the beginner-intermediate but the off-piste and bump skiing is also pretty good. Considerable investment in new lifts, at Kitzbühel, has reduced problems with queues. Off the piste, Kitzbühel is attractive and large enough to provide plenty of interesting diversions for non-skiers. A good choice of hotels, bars and restaurants makes for a great apres-ski environment at Kitzbühel.

Resorts close to Kitzbühel (Kitzbuhel) include: Kirchberg (6 km), Fieberbrunn (8 km), Going (9 km), St Johann in Tirol (9 km), Ellmau (10 km),

Visitor Reviews of Kitzbühel

David Pomeroy from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

Our party of 8 spent a week at Kitzbühel over half-term. 4 adults and four kids under 6yrs old.

The transfer was effortless, just about 1 1/4 hours from Salzberg - in heavy snow.

We needed to hire skis for the kids and for one adult. The Intersport hire shop (at the bottom of the Hahnemkamn gondola) was chaotic and it took well over an hour to get our pre-booked stuff. When we got to the front of the queue the selection of equipment was then extremely limited and not at all acceptable - even in half-term week.

The ski-school appeared a bit disorganised at the start and no-one knew where we had to go - could have been our fault as we were late due to the ski-hire situation above. Once everyone was in, it was a very different story - the two boys (both 5 1/2) thought it was fantastic. They had both skied before but came on leaps and bounds here. They were true skiers by midweek and loved their 'race' at the end of the week - I have never seen either of them looking so proud of their achievements.

My wife also attended ski-school for the week and after not skiing for 7 years had her best ever weeks skiing - thanks to her tutor, Carmen - I have never seen her so happy and capable on skis.

We found the snow conditions at Kitzbühel amongst the best European conditions that we have ever had. Over a 1m of snow fell in the resort whilst we were there - much more up on top.

We had probably the best weeks skiing that any of us have ever had. The resort itself was excellent with great alpine charm.

One minor point - the Hahnenkahm gondola in the morning had horrendous queues from 9am until about 11am. My advice here is get out early - or lie in - and don't come back into Kitzbuhel until the end of the day. For some of us dropping kids off at ski school, this, however, couldn't be helped.

I was expecting the prices in restaurants etc, to be expensive - especially with the Euro being so strong against the GBP. I was pleasantly suprised and even came back from the holiday with money left over - unheard of usually.

I am now a real convert - having skied most of my ski life in the three valleys and other parts of France - I am pleased to say that I will be returning regularly to Kitzbuhel. The boys are desperate to go back.
