Kitzbuhel
  • Tip Rating:
  • Kitzbühel is set within spectacular landscape at the western end of Tirol and is sandwiched between the striking 2,000 metre-high Kitzbüheler Horn and the Hahnenkamm. The town itself is fairly large, with a pedestrianised centre, two churches and a railway station providing good transport links to other areas of Austria.

    This was a view of Kitzbuhel we had on the way down from the Hahnenkamm.

    Kitzbuhel's streets
  • Tip Rating:
  • The town has two main streets, both pedestrian walkways: Vorderstadt and Hinterstadt. Along these streets Kitzbühel has preserved its traditional architectural style. You'll see three-story stone houses with oriels and scrollwork around the doors and windows, heavy overhanging eaves, and gothic gables.

    Churches
  • Tip Rating:
  • There are beautiful churches in kitzbuhel:
    The Pfarrkirche (parish church) was built from 1435 to 1506 and renovated in the baroque style during the 18th century. The lower part of the Church of Our Lady (Liebfrauenkirche) dates from the 13th century, the upper part from 1570. Between these two churches stands the Ölberg Chapel (Ölbergkapelle) with a 1450 "lantern of the dead" and frescoes from the latter part of the 16th century.

    This view of the churches through the trees slightly above kitzbuhel was a favourite view.

    Wet weather activities
  • Tip Rating:
  • If its too wet to hike then the town is a pleasure to explore with its colourful architecture and if its Saturday then the market is held in the centre and local cusine can be sampled like these cheeses.

    Kitzbuhel's colourful buildings
  • Tip Rating:
  • what I loved above the main street in Kitzbuhel is that even in wet weather the buildings look so colourful and alive, in England they would look so drab.

    Kitzbühel
  • Tip Rating:
  • Try to avoid the weekend of the Hahnenkamm-race, when you want to go skiing only

    It is in January normally

    Hahnenkamm is a great event but normal skiing is not possible, long lines of peoples waiting at the lifts

    Kitzbuhel is not a high altitude ski resort which can be an issue . You end up , most of the time , just skiing the upper third of the mountains.

    The mountain side restaurants are superb . There is nothing better that Austrian sausages and Austrian beer .
