Ski Areas & Runs in Kitzbühel

Kitzbühel is recommended for the intermediates and experts, and the off-piste enthusiasts. This is the terrain for Powder lovers and free riders with plenty of slopes with deep snow below the tree line and wide powder fields plus tree line itineraries. The slopes are split between 13 black runs, 25 red runs, and 22 blue runs – and with the exception of the Streif, there is nothing much to scare confident intermediates. Beginners must head to Hahnenkamm nursery slopes which has free lifts and more at Jochberg and Reith, and there are also lift passes available just for the Horn.  We wouldn’t particularly recommend the Horn as a beginner area.

Skiers to Kitzbühel have access to 234km of very well-tended ski runs and 36km of ski routes, and 4 km of special areas (snowparks, fun slopes, etc). Of note is the recent new 3S Cable Car, known to be the highest above-ground span in the world.

The transports system is reliable, with an excellent free bus system operating through all the villages across the Kitzbuhel piste map. There is a good bus service that operates between the Hahnenkamm gondola and Kitzbüheler Horn.

Best Kitzbuhel Apres Ski Bars

Kitzbuhel becomes livelier and excited with its high-end local feel après ski in the months of January when World Cup comes to town!

Probably the biggest parties you can see in the Alps. But it should not put off anyone who plans to come here at other times: during the other times the nightlife vibe is pretty good. Places like the British pub The Londoner are known to party places the Brits go. The Litchtl Pub is another lively bar, or try the O’Flannigans, for good Irish beer and some sport streamed daily along with live music.

If you are looking for chic après ski Experience Club Take Five is a good choice: with VIP area, choice of cocktails, and resident DJs, you can chill out or kick start your evening.
