About Luxury Ski Chalets in Kitzbuhel, Austria

Arguably Austria’s most fashionable ski resort, Kitzbühel is known as one of the most beautiful ski towns in Europe, with its delicate spires, stunning frescoes and buttressed walls.

Once a medieval silver-mining town, it still has a historic feel. Charming old coaching inns are now boutique hotels and, within the old city walls, the pedestrianised centre is a web of ancient streets now boasting smart cafes and deliciously expensive designer boutiques. All this is set against the startlingly beautiful Wilder Kaiser mountains, which lend a magical atmosphere to the whole town.

Kitzbühel is perhaps best known for the annual Hahnenkamm race in mid-January, when the world’s best skiers descend on the town to compete on Der Streif, which at one point falls into a death-defying 85° drop. But there’s lots to keep those who aren’t adrenaline junkies busy, too.

There are plenty of intermediate and ‘family’ runs, as well as snowboarding fun parks, cross-country runs and winter hiking trails, too. Lots of people come just for the fabulous ‘ski safari’, a carefully planned trail of runs linked by chairlifts, gondolas and drag lifts that allow you to go a total of 91 miles without stepping out of your skis.

In the summer months, Kitzbühel attracts hikers, cyclists and golfers and the town also has a lovely programme of outdoor concerts and theatre.
