Tracking down the best skiers in the world
Alpine skiing has a long-standing tradition in the Kitzbühel Alps. Some unforgettable ski legends have shaped the Hahnenkamm race and
celebrated glorious victories over the formidable Streif. But this is just one aspect; the diversity on offer on the dreamy ski pistes at all difficulty
levels offers ambitious skiers, families and beginners the ultimate skiing pleasure. More than 430 km of ideally prepared ski pistes in the
Kitzbühel ski resort and the Wilder Kaiser – Brixental ski world guarantee the finest descents.

Fast and comfortable to the pleasures of the summit
The Kitzbühel - Kirchberg ski resort and Wilder Kaiser – Brixental ski world are two of Europe’s largest and most modern ski resorts. To ensure
our guests enjoy the pure skiing pleasure to the full, the mountain railway companies are constantly investing in comfort and security. The latest
snow-making facilities, piste preparation equipment and an army of well-trained employees ensure the ideal piste conditions each and every day.
Culinary treats of the highest quality
Traditional food is served at the mountain huts – the ever popular sugared pancakes and cheese pasta are a must!
The restaurants in the valley also serve local specialities. Grandma’s recipes are re-interpreted and combined with regional quality products to
create a genuine treat for the taste buds. Simon Taxacher is a figurehead for fine cuisine. With his numerous awards (3 Gault Millau toques and
2 Michelin stars which he has secured for his restaurant, Relais & Châteaux Rosengarten) he is one of Austria’s top chefs.
Tracking down nature
The South-facing tributaries of the Brixentals Aschau, Windau and Kelchsau are home to some rare natural landscapes. Winter is like a beautiful
fairy-tale here. The valleys are particularly popular as a starting point for dreamy ski tours on the peaks of the southern Kitzbühel Alps. The ascent
is rewarded with imposing panoramic views of the Hohe Tauern and in good weather, views extend as far as Munich. This feeling of elation
continues with a descent in the powder or firn snow, transforming the day into an unforgettable adventure.
Relax and recharge your batteries
A walk through the snowy winter landscapes, a sledging party or a guided snow shoe tour – the Brixental valley also has plenty to offer away
from the ski pistes. The tourist board also offers family guided walks and snow shoe tours. A fast sledging party or climbing of the ice tower
on the Obergaisberg offer even more action. Romantics can explore the captivating winter landscape in a horse-drawn carriage or
stop off at a traditional guesthouse.
The most beautiful festivals and events in winter
The events calendar is packed full with top events and beautiful festivities. Highlights such as the Hahnenkamm warm-up, horse races or the
famous Hahnenkamm race create a top atmosphere in the region. The pre-Christmas period is all about tradition and contemplation. In addition
to the aromatic mulled wine, punch, chestnuts and gingerbread, there are also plenty of lively customs to see and hear at the Christmas markets
and Advent events. The people of the Brixental valley are very sociable and like to celebrate each and every festival!
