Get a feel for the resort

The Kitzbuheler Alps ski area stretches from Pass Thurn, via Kitzbuhel to Kirchberg, which is now also linked to Westendorf, part of the Ski Welt region, putting these resorts in the heart of one of the largest linked ski areas in Austria. For mixed ability groups, they are the perfect destination. Beginners will find the attentive ski schools fill them with confidence to tackle the many blue runs, while intermediates are simply spoilt for choice. The historic town centre of Kitzbuhel has something for everyone. Its cobbled streets, lined with attractive traditional buildings, make it a beautiful place to stay. Inside its medieval walls, there are unlimited shopping opportunities, numerous cafes and restaurants, and in the evenings a bustling nightlife in the many bars and clubs. A convenient and somewhat quieter alternative to the 'Glitz of Kitz' is neighbouring Kirchberg, situated 6km away. Although it may not have quite the same glamour, it does offer great quality hotels, convenient access to the fantastic ski area and good value.

Situated 6km around the corner, and sharing the same ski area as its more famous neighbour Kitzbuhel, lies the resort of Kirchberg. While it does not claim to have the sophistication and glamour of Kitzbuhel, it does offer an easy-going, friendly atmosphere, a good selection of bars, restaurants and shops centred around its towering church, plus surprisingly lively nightlife in selected bars and clubs. Several lifts access the Kitzbuhel ski area along the valley, which means great skiing and boarding for all ability levels. Beginners learn on the gentle nursery slopes in the Gaisberg area or close to the Maierl chairlift. Kirchberg offers a great alternative accommodation base to Kitzbuhel at surprisingly good value prices.
