Kitzbühel
Among Austrian holiday resorts, Kitzbühel is the most
commercial, glamorous and expensive. The beautiful alpine town of
Kitzbühel, which dates back to the 9th century, has remained fairly
unspoilt; in the winter holiday season you will hear the jingle of
bells as a horse-drawn sleigh is pulled through Kitzbühel's
cobbled, traffic-free town centre.
There is an extensive and varied skiing area offering excellent
skiing and snowboarding, both on and off-piste, but be prepared for
a lack of snow in places. Due to Kitzbühel's low altitude, the
lower slopes are rarely open. If the skiing doesn't tire you out
while on holiday in Kitzbühel, the nightlife certainly will. The
atmosphere is bright, boisterous and fun and doesn't stop till the
not-quite-so-early hours. Kitzbühel is also Austria's winter
entertainment capital and attracts performers from all over the
continent throughout the holiday season.
