Resort Information

The breathtaking Kitzbüheler Alps and Wilder Kaiser mountains dominate the area and a trip on the Hahnenkamm or Kitzbüheler Horn cable cars is particularly recommended (the Hahnenkamm cable car also runs one evening per week). The area offers fantastic walking and you can join in escorted walks with our walking escort. The nearby Schwarzsee lake is also a 'must' for the visitor. There are weekly brass band concerts, occasional folk concerts, and several lively keller bars to choose from or try your luck at the casino!

Walking

There are 180kms of marked footpaths, ranging from gentle strolls from Kitzbühel along the valley to Kirchberg and Aurach, to challenging hikes in the mountains. The scenery around the Schwarzsee lake is particularly beautiful, as are the waterfalls at Jochberg.
You can join our walking escort on 1 or 2 FREE weekly escorted walks. Kitzbühel is also part of our Walking Weeks programme, see page 140 for more details. Both services are operated by our sister company.
