Skiing
In short, an intermediates area.
The low altitude means beginners areas on the valley floor suffer - the best best to learn is the Kitzbüheler Horn.
Advanced skiers can enjoy the Steinbergkogel black run collection, and on powder days the freeride ski "routes" dotted around the area.
Apres Ski
The après-ski scene in the KitzSki area is vibrant and varied. In Kitzbühel and Kirchberg, skiers can enjoy bustling bars, stylish lounges, and lively nightclubs. The centre in the old town retains a great atmosphere well into the night.
