KITZBUHEL SKI HOLIDAYS

Kitzbuhel is one of the most famous ski holiday resorts in the world and derives its notoriety from the annual Kitzbuhel race weekend that hosts the most feared downhill race in the world – the Kitzbuhel Hahnenkamm. Kitzbuhel is part of the vast KItzbuheler Alpen ski region and has seen recent investment in lifts linking in to neighbouring villages. The atmospheric resort of Kitzbuhel takes some beating anywhere in the Alps. The walled-medeival town centre is dramatic and contains a superb selection of entertainments and shops.

THE GOOD, THE BAD

Good  We like:
Beautiful medieval austrian town, good apres ski, lots to do for non skiers and extensive piste km's! The ultimate all round resort!

Bad  We don`t like:
The low altitude means that the lower slopes can be patchy if there has been a lack of snow and compared to elsewhere in Austria, the prices are a little higher.

HAHNENKAMM APRES SKI RACE MAYHEM



Possibly the biggest party in the mountains - the apres race Hahnenkamm party is not always pretty but is often quite classic.

KITZBUHEL SKIING

The Hahnenkamm ski weekend each January is the reason that Kitzbuhel is known worldwide. The fearsome nature of the downhill course is very much at odds with the majority of the terrain within the Kitzbuhel ski area. This tends to favour the intermediate skier. The vast Kitzbuheler Alpen ski region is also available.

Pricey , but it would be hard to beat the apres here as it isn't just the usual 1 or 2 hours! it can go on much longer into the night.

A bit limited for real beginners, but excellent once they have progressed. Bad luck that this week was no good for off piste due to snow conditions, but there looked to be lots of great off piste to be had when the conditions were right.

Brilliant apres ski, tried several venues and always had great fun and strangely always ended up staggering home afterwards.
