Whether on, or off the snow, Kitzbühel is tough to beat for corporate ski trips. One of the biggest brands of world skiing and host to the most celebrated ski race globally, Kitzbühel has a mighty name.
On the snow the ski area is large, whilst the town is dominated by the Hahnenkamm peak and its race piste, the Kitzbühel Hahnenkamm Streif, which plummets into the resort’s southern edge.
The town of Kitzbühel cannot have any peers concerning style and atmosphere – the pedestrianised centre is truly magical with intimate streets, stylish bars and designer shops.
The bars are legendary and après ski in Kitzbühel is some of the best in the world. Activities around the resort are excellent, dining first-class and the resort transfers short and straight.
Kitzbühel is probably the most recognisable name in world skiing. Famed for its annual Kitzbühel race weekend, the resort is the benchmark for extreme downhill ski racing, hosting the most feared and revered ski race in the world. The Hahnenkamm Streif race course is open to the public outside of race preparation periods and many flock to its vertiginous terrain to test themselves against their heroes.
Aside from this fearsome ski route, the skiing in Kitzbühel stretches continuously from Pass Thurm in the south to the neighbouring Kirchberg, just northwest of Kitzbühel, offering fantastic intermediate skiing. Many upgraded lifts serve the area, whilst the on-mountain restaurants are stylish and enjoy enviable locations.
To the north of Kitzbühel is the Kitzbüheler Horn ski area – a distinct and separate ski area, with a big terrain park and southern-facing slopes. For the mile-hungry skiers and snowboarders, there is the chance to cross into Westendorf and then ski beyond into the Ski Welt ski region that includes Söll, Brixen, Ellmau and other resorts. The ski resources in the region are absolutely massive.
The majority of the region is ideal for intermediates, yet there is plenty of steep skiing below the Hahnenkamm and the Hohe Salve, whilst the off-piste on the north-facing slopes above Kitzbühel can be sensational.

One of the Daddies of world après ski – Kitzbühel unashamedly offers potent après ski from the ski slopes, to the heart of the town. There are many on-mountain huts to tempt the masses, but the real action starts around the base station in bars such as Pavillon and Mocking, which depending on perspective, offers an either sublime or manifestly dangerous location at the foot of the slopes on the southern edge of the resort.
During the Hahnenkamm race weekend, this area becomes the après ski HQ of the Alps, with hotel terraces and pop-up bars effectively creating an après ski village in its own right.
Later in the evening, The Londoner an iconic pub with a fantastic atmosphere, is filled with hordes of partying guests, swilling the brews, and dancing to live music. There are endless other bars for visitors and locals throughout the centre of Kitzbühel.
