Every year in July, the ATP men's tennis tournament and the Generali Open take place in Kitzbühel, as well as a stage of the Österreich-Radrundfahrt to the Kitzbüheler Horn.

The World Cup downhill and super G on the fast Streif, as well as the slalom on the Ganslernhang, attract around 100,000 visitors each year and make the World Cup races in Kitzbühel a huge spectacle. Numerous celebrities and the jet set gather here, ensuring that tourism takes place in the high-price segment.

Winter vacation in Kitzbühel

The ski area with 150 kilometers of slopes is one of the larger ski areas in Austria. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, Kitzbühel also offers entertaining activities on the ice: several options for curling and ice stock sport are available. Ice skaters will find excellent conditions at the open-air ice rink and the natural ice rink at Schwarzsee.

Whether you reach the hut by lift or on foot, after a cozy stop, you can race downhill on a sled or a "Zipfelbob"! Those who prefer natural slopes, sunny panoramic views, and an intense winter experience off the slopes will literally fall in love with this region as ski tourers or snowshoe hikers.

Cross-country skiers can let off steam on the exceptionally well-prepared trails around Kitzbühel and the Wilder Kaiser, covering over 500km. The special thing about the trails is that there are hardly any difficult ascents. Despite this impressive offer, all trails can be used free of charge.

Kitz in summer

On over 500 kilometers of hiking trails through the Kitzbüheler Alps, hikers can explore a unique landscape with breathtaking panoramas. In addition to hiking, Nordic walking, mountaineering, and mountain biking, many golfers also come to the fashionable tourist destination. The magnificent golf center with four golf courses also hosts the famous Kitzbüheler Golf Festival year after year.

Kitzbühel Water Worlds
After an extensive hike, a dip in the beautiful, refreshing Schwarzsee is certainly one of the most pleasant holiday experiences. You can also cruise the magnificent lake with an electric boat, or simply treat yourself on the sun terraces of the lake bistros. In addition to Schwarzsee, the romantic, natural Gieringer Weiher also offers top-class peace and relaxation.
