Kitzbühel

This charming medieval town of Kitzbühel has a serious skiing pedigree and recent investment in snowmaking and the lift system mean the queues and bare slopes of old are becoming a thing of the past.

Expect Kitz to be more popular with Brits than ever this year following Dave "The Rocket" Ryding's memorable victory in the 2022 Kitzbühel slalom race -

Britain’s first World Cup gold medal ever. The bright red gondolas on the Hahnenkamm now feature Dave’s name amongst the prestigious list of winners on the Streif race course. Why not aim for World Cup weekend again and see if the British team can re-create some of this magic, and experience the unique thrill of a quiet Austrian village brought to life by race weekend? Covering 185km of marked pistes – topped up by an additional 45km of marked ski routes – Kitzbühel has a surprisingly large ski area. Of course there is the infamous Streif Downhill course and some great steep terrain amongst the woods, but in reality this is a great resort for intermediates looking to put some miles under their belts. You really feel a sense of travelling when you ski from one end to the other and getting around is quick and easy thanks to the impressive lift system.

The town of Kitzbühel is as picturesque as it gets and the sense of history is clear. Wandering around the pedestrianised town centre within the old city walls is a great experience and it is certainly different to most ski resorts.

Stay in the middle if possible to experience the resort at its best and make the most of the numerous cafes, shops, bars and restaurants littered around the centre.

With so much to explore, the best way to experience Kitz is using the advice of your Ski Club Rep – they’re on hand from January until March this winter. You can also join the Kitzbühel group on the Ski Club App, home of our Reps and Members in resort this winter and the place to organise your day’s skiing! And before you go, join our Kitzbühel Facebook Page for the very latest updates from the resort and to arrange some ski buddies for your trip.

Pros and cons

Extensive slopes stretching over multiple ridges
Very impressive lift system
One of the world’s best snowmaking systems
Beautiful old medieval town

Still some queues during peak times
Not the best for advanced skiers unless there is fresh snow
Snow quality lower down can suffer, but generally quantity issues are a thing

of the past
Large town and some accommodation can be far away

On the Slopes

Over €280 million has been spent since 2000 upgrading the resort and it really shows. The extensive main area of slopes includes the villages of Kirchberg and Jochberg to form a fantastic area of linked slopes, most of which are tree- lined and backed up by snowmaking. A 3S gondola links the Hahnenkamm area with Resterhöhe at the far end of the resort – making this trip well worth it for the sense of travel and to ride the impressive lift system. The smaller Kitzbüheler Horn sector lies on the opposite side off the valley, and offers some good cruisey terrain and long runs back to town.

For Beginners

Unfortunately the local nursery slopes in Kitzbühel are slightly limited and despite the best snowmaking efforts, the snow quality can suffer. There are similar areas in all of the villages in the valley but the same issue persists.

Higher up however there is a decent gentle zone on the Kitzbüheler Horn, where there is also good progression on to longer blues. Elsewhere, Pengelstein is probably the best bet for gentle blues within the main ski area.

For Intermediates

There’s a huge array of runs for intermediates in the resort, but some of the slopes can get crowded – especially on the Hahnenkamm. Despite the modest altitude, you can notch up some serious vertical on the Pengelstein sector by skiing down to Skirast and also on the Kitzbüheler Horn. Take the 3S across towards Pass Thurn for the quietest slopes, including the highest piste in the resort at the aptly named Zweitausender.

For Advanced/Expert & Off Piste

The advanced options are somewhat limited and most of the steep terrain is found by the Steinbergkogel, accessed directly from the main Hahnenkamm gondola. Two fast eight seater-chairs – both equipped with seat heating and bubbles – access a network of good blacks. Otherwise the main attractions are the ski routes, in particular 33, 34 and 51, but these rely on good natural snowfall and fresh powder.

In the Resort

The sizeable and largely car-free medieval centre – with its quaint church, cobbled streets and attractive buildings – is not your typical ski resort but it makes for a compelling place to stay. There is lots to do and a great choice of restaurants and accommodation, but the resort does spread widely so be prepared to walk to the lifts or to jump on a bus.

For Families

Kitzbühel is rather spread out and can be busy, so is not completely ideal for families. However, there is a lot to do off the slopes including ice skating, tobogganing and swimming at the impressive Aquarena.

For Après

As the lifts close, the Streifalm bar at the foot of the slopes is popular, whilst beers are usually flowing at the Stamperl and Londoner in town. If you really want to party, then visit during the Hahnenkamm Downhill weekend, when tens of thousands of ski racing fans descend on the town for one of Austria’s wildest weekends.

Snow Overview

Austria

Updated 11/02

Good, steady snowfall will come for much of Austria this week, although in a tale that has dogged the region for much of this season it will be limited to upper slopes because of an unfavourable freezing line during this period. It will sit between 1,500m and 2,000m for most of the rest of this week, with around 45cm of snowfall coming in this period – including 30cm on Wednesday alone.

This will being to drop as the week continues, with the 20cm of snowfall expected on Thursday and Friday beginning to hit lower slopes, too. It will dip below 1,000m across the region to welcome in the weekend, before dropping off a cliff on Sunday, when chances of sun will break through the last few flurries of snowfall.

Things remain cloudy and snowy into the new week, although it remains a bit too far out to see exactly what will happen.

David Mace

Repping dates: 07/02/2026 - 21/02/2026

My first ski holiday was with family at the age of 8 in Austria, getting there and back on the train. I learnt properly at University on the dry ski slope at Hillend and the slopes of varopis Scottish resorts (mostly Glencoe). Since then I have skied extensively throughout Europe, loving the challenges and taking family and friends on tours. I live in Dorset, enjoying the outdoors and am semi retired

Repping dates: 21/02/2026 - 07/03/2026

I've been skiing since I was 12 and have skied through out Europe and Scotland. I love skiing through out the mountains whether it's cruising on blues or more adventurous blacks as I just love being on the snow and in the mountains. I'm recently retired from 30 years in the fire service so when I'm not skiing then I'm back home to Yorkshire to carry on life in the Yorkshire dales

Mark Hopkinson

Repping dates: 07/03/2026 - 21/03/2026

Lucky to have learned to ski on a dry slope behind my local ski shop in Berkshire at the age of seven, my first family ski trip to La Thuile in Italy quickly sealed the deal. Mountains have been calling ever since.

Having trained professionally on skis and snowboard during a full season in Quebec in ’97, qualification as a Ski Club Rep followed in 2025. Early-morning groomers, a bit of adventure, following the sun around the mountain, and knowing where to find a good coffee or refuelling stop are all part of the fun

Away from the piste, a sociable après, a good pow-wow, and the chance to swap a story or two are always welcome.
