| Kitzbuhel is the most famous
holiday resort in the Austrian Tyrol. Lying 800
meters above sea-level, it's surrounding scenery
breathtaking and the town itself, which is some 700
years old, is full of charm. Visitors of Kitzbuhel
are offered the opportunity to practice all kinds of
sports and hobbies and enjoy traditional
entertainment. All this has made Kitzbuhel famous
worldwide. Over a century ago, in the winter of
1892, skiing began in Kitzbuhel. The most famous
skier of all time, Toni Sailer is now the director
of the "Red Devils" ski school, one of six ski
schools and lives in "Kitz". Each year the
spectacular "Hahnenkamm Downhill" is staged and
thousands of excited spectators crowd the "Streif"
to cheer on the fearless downhill skiers. The new
snow making facilities on the Streif, guarantee
excellent snow conditions. 56 lifts run in and
around the town joining the various peaks but for
the ever-increasing number of non-skiers who holiday
in Kitzbuhel, a never-ending amount of activities
are offered including miles of pathways through the
surrounding countryside for walkers; a skating rink,
curling alleys, the "Aquarena" which houses two
excellent swimming pools, a sauna, a solarium, as
well as a massage center, a casino and indoor tennis
courts. The following scheduled excursions are
available locally: Salzburg, Innsbruck, Munich,
Venice, and Rattenberg. For those who have come to
enjoy the "apres-ski" and evening entertainment,
Kitzbuhel is the place. Come experience genuine
Tyrolean "Gemutlichkeit" in Kitzbuhel. |
