Its picturesque setting, its unique geographical location and surroundings, the almost endless range of sporting activities with it offers, and its full program of major international events make Kitzbühel the undisputed number 1 winter destination for more that a million holiday-makers every year.
The motto here is: immerse yourself in the magical world of unlimited opportunities!
Few other winter sports centres blend so perfectly romantic appeal, sporting fascination and a pervasive atmosphere of joie the vivre.
Kitzbühel in winter offers a truly unique calendar of sporting, cultural and social events. The absolute highlight comes in January each year with the traditional
Hahnenkamm Race. For a whole week Kitzbühel is at the focus of attention in the international sporting scene, when the world's skiing elite can be admired on Kitzbühel's famous slopes vying for the honours in the slalom, super-G and downhill in what is doubtless the
biggest event on the international skiing circuit.

The new 3S gondola whips skiers and boarders 400metres above the Saukasergraben Valley on spans that are a massive 2,500 meters between supporting towers. The entire area is massive and all accessible through the Kitzbüheler Alpen AllStarCard. Of course winter sports lovers will be interested in the diversity of terrain between the Kizbühler Horn mountain and Hahnenkamm peak, but the Après Ski available in the historic town centre, including top quality hotels, restaurants and shopping, is a drawcard in itself.
