Kitzbuhel |

The ski resort of Kitzbuhel was one of the first international resorts and still entices visitors from all over the world. Kitzbuhel is situated in a broad valley, surrounded by three major ski areas. The town centre is characterised by cobbled streets and has remained unspoilt. Kitzbuhel is especially picturesque and you will often hear the jingle of bells as horse-drawn sleighs are pulled through its cobbled, traffic-free town centre. This lively and sophisticated resort has something for everyone. |
