Kitzbuhel

About:

Kitzbuhel is a beautiful medieval town with cobbled streets and elegant hotels, nestled between the Hahnenkamm mountain and the Kitzbuhel Horn. It hosted the world’s first ever downhill ski race in 1895 and today, the annual competition on the ‘Streif’ piste enjoys a legendary status among winter sports’ fans. In the summer months, the town is a haven for hikers and cyclists and you can also enjoy watersports on the Schwarzsee (Black Lake) and golf on one of 4 picturesque courses.
