About Kitzbühel
Kitzbühel is one of the most recognisable names in skiing anywhere on earth. The Hahnenkamm downhill race has been held here every January since 1931, the medieval town centre is among the most beautiful in the Alps, and the luxury of the resort – its hotels, restaurants, and atmosphere – is matched by few competitors. Arriving by private transfer is entirely in keeping with the town itself.
AlpRoads provides fixed-price, door-to-door private transfers to Kitzbühel from Munich, Innsbruck, Salzburg, and other regional airports. Your group, your vehicle, your schedule.
The Hahnenkamm – Skiing’s Most Famous Race
Every year, in mid-January, the Hahnenkamm Downhill transforms Kitzbühel into the epicentre of the skiing world. The Streif course – which drops 860 metres over 3.3 kilometres, with sections reaching 140 km/h – is widely considered the most demanding and prestigious race on the World Cup circuit. The atmosphere during race week is extraordinary: the town fills with spectators, the parties are legendary, and tickets to the trackside areas are sought after months in advance.
If your travel dates include Hahnenkamm weekend (typically the third weekend of January), book your transfer well in advance. Demand is exceptionally high during race week.
Ski Kitzbühel and the SkiWelt
The Ski Kitzbühel area covers 54 lifts and 228 kilometres of slopes spanning the Kitzbüheler Horn and the Hahnenkamm mountains, with elevations ranging from 800 metres in the town to 2,000 metres at the top. Despite not being the highest resort in Austria, Kitzbühel’s position and terrain management allow for excellent piste conditions throughout the season.
The resort connects to the vast SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental, making a combined area of over 280 kilometres accessible on a single pass. The SkiWelt is one of the largest interconnected ski areas in the world, and access from Kitzbühel opens up an enormous additional terrain via the pass at Kirchberg and Westendorf.
The Town
Kitzbühel’s medieval town centre is pedestrianised and exceptionally well-preserved, with pastel-painted facades, narrow lanes, and a genuine sense of history that gives it a character few ski resorts can match. The Vorderstadt and Hinterstadt streets are lined with luxury boutiques – Bogner, Sportalm, and multiple jewellers – as well as excellent independent restaurants, traditional Stuben, and lively bars.
The Londoner Bar is the most famous après-ski venue in town, consistently packed from mid-afternoon onwards. The Strip along Hinterstadt offers a selection of bars and clubs that keep the evening going well past midnight. For those seeking something quieter, the restaurant scene is genuinely excellent, from casual Austrian cuisine to Michelin-quality fine dining.
Summer in Kitzbühel
Outside winter, Kitzbühel is a renowned golf destination. The resort has three championship courses, and the combination of mountain scenery and high-quality fairways draws serious golfers from across Europe. Hiking, cycling, and tennis are also popular. AlpRoads provides summer transfers to Kitzbühel for golf and leisure travellers as well as ski groups.
