Kitzbuhel 

Stylish scenic and sophisticated with varied terrain – it has everything but altitude

Kitzbuhel is a medieval mining town which developed in to one of the most recognised Austrian ski resorts, hosting the most famous of all downhill races – the Hahnenkamn. The ski area is an extensive mix of long open pistes and pretty tree-line runs. However, the snow on the lower slopes can be patchy due to the low altitude of the resort. The town is very stylish with a walled traffic free centre with cobbled streets and impressive buildings. There is a surprising choice of accommodation to suit all budgets, although the resort is not cheap. Five satellite villages provide more options for budget accommodation – Aurach is most popular.
