Kitzbühel is without doubt one of the most beautiful and best known holiday regions in the world.
Summer in and around this pretty alpine town has its own special charm. Whether it’s hiking to your heart’s content through the hilly mountain scenery, golfing in the footsteps of the professionals, a world-class tennis match or simply strolling and shopping in a leisurely and relaxed way through the picturesque old town, Kitzbühel is enchanting whatever the season – and in summer you see it at its most carefree.
Nestling in the mountains of Kitzbüheler Horn, Bichlalm and Hahnenkamm at an altitude of 800 meters above sea-level, the Kitzbühel region is ideally situated to catch the snow-laden north-westerlies in
winter. The result is reliable snow cover right down to the valley floor from December to April. The region has about a hundred miles of perfectly groomed downhill trails for all ability levels and almost twenty miles of signposted off-piste ski routes, as well as action-packed terrain parks for boarders, natural toboggan runs and hundreds of miles of cross-country ski trails and winter walks. The infrastructure includes fourteen ski schools for all ability levels, from today’s beginners to tomorrow’s ski racers, and a total of 55 ultra-modern ski lifts and cablecars run by Bergbahn AG Kitzbühel.
For children, youngsters, families and beginners, the region also offers a special service – which in this form is unique in Austria – with free practice lifts down in the valley in every resort.
The Kitzbühel Sprint Triathlon will take place on
Saturday
19 July 2008.
