Austria Kitzbuhel Every winter-sports person has heard of the truly charming Tyrolean resort of Kitzbuhel - one of the most architecturally exquisite ski towns in the Alps, with its medieval archways, pastel-painted houses and cobbled streets. This fashionable resort has got it all – offering a mixture of challenging terrain, great snow conditions and a unique ambience. Its most famous time comes during the classic Hahnenkamm race week when the fastest skiers converge on this quaint village. The Hahnenkamm area is reached by gondola from the centre of Kitzbuhel and extends past a strikingly scenic Ski Safari - a tour which can be accomplished by intermediate skiers. Kitzbuhel’s extensive ski area covers 100 miles of marked piste and offers a variety of runs for all levels of skier - ideal for groups of mixed standards. It is also great for snowboarding. Beginners are particularly well catered for, with the chance to ride some long easy runs. Kitzbuhel is a resort dedicated not only to skiing but also everything that goes along with skiing. Its slopes are vast with more than 50 lifts, its shops, bars and cafes are chic and lively, and the Après-ski here never ends. The stylish town is buzzing with atmosphere, and it is no wonder Kitzbuhel has been one of Austria's, and indeed Europe's, top ski resorts for so many years.
