What Skiers Say About Kitzbühel

Kitzbühel attracts predominantly advanced and expert skiers, with reviewers consistently praising the extensive ski area, modern lift infrastructure with heated seats, and well-groomed pistes. The resort is noted for its charming old town, quality on-mountain restaurants, and vibrant après-ski scene, particularly at venues like The Londoner. However, the low altitude means snow conditions can be unreliable, with many reviewers reporting icy slopes and dependence on artificial snowmaking. The resort is repeatedly described as expensive for accommodation, dining, and drinks, though some find the quality justifies the cost.

The snow slopes is quite hard and ice, difficult to run but it’s huge places and the resort is quite pricey

Great resort overall. Lots of mountain top restaurants and patios, lots of great spots for a beer or an espresso. Really good groomed runs, lots of different areas to explore. I never explored much beyond the groomers. Most lifts are high speed 8 packs with heated seats. Village is really cool with lots of character. Big dance bar/club at the base. Definitely a bougie town but the mountain wasnt crazy expensive, just nice.

I loved snowboarding there. Huge resort! There’s lots of lifts and great runs. Weekends get a bit crowded but it still won’t spoil the fun! Some great options for different types of runs, but definitely not a resort for beginners. Loved the vibe!

Great place so long as there is plenty of snow. Not the highest mountain range otherwise. Central sauna is well worth a visit.

We had an excellent 5 days In Kitzbuhel. Our first time skiing in Austria & we were all v impressed. The Edelweiss Hotel was convenient location & just 5 mins to the lifts. The lifts were quick & once up in the mountains not crowded like France. The slopes were fairly well groomed but as it was warm it became slushy mid afternoon.
Good choice of eateries & bars & not over priced.
Would return & recommend.

The resort had a variety of different slopes and plenty for intermediate skiers to do. The Apres ski is better in the town than on the slopes.

Went with my 16 yr old son. Spent NYE here which was the best NYE I’ve had. We stayed at the top of the mountain, had wonderful dinner and the fireworks were amazing. I found the resort super easy to navigate. Maps at the top of all the lifts. The apres is excellent. Really loved it.

The town was snow free the week we were there, with no fresh snow. However, the pistes were all well covered and well groomed all week.
The lifts were all in working order, operating efficiently, with help at hand for those who needed it.
The mountain restaurants were very busy during the main lunch period, but the staff were efficient and we always got served. Some blue runs got rather busy, but once on the reds or blacks, the slopes were much quieter.
You can take the race run back to the town, rather than the bubble. It was a bit icy in places during the week we were there, but we managed it without a problem.
The town has an excellent selection of restaurants to suit all tastes and all wallets. Similarly the bars are many and varied, and the traffic free centre makes it easy to get around safely. A great resort all round.

Kitzbuhel was mind-blowing! We stayed in Kufstein so it was very easy to get to. Trains ran often and it was only a few stops. The lift was actually right beside the train station! We didn’t bring our gear so we rented from Intersport, which was also an easy process. I think it took less than an hour to get off the train and on the slopes. Lift tickets were inexpensive and there were even cheaper options the later you started up the mountain. Once we were up the mountain, I was blown away by the sheer vastness of it. There were so many lifts, huts and runs! (There weren’t too many snowboarders like me though!) The runs were well groomed, a little icy in some parts of the blue runs but it was also a pretty warm sunny day. We finished off by enjoying the aprés ski scene with some proseccos at one of the most lively huts. I was impressed to see Dom Perignon casually being sold by the bottle, we don’t see that often back in Canada! This is my fave resort so far! I can’t wait to come back soon and check out all the Alps!

Kitzbuhel is a wonderful resort for skiers and non skiers alike! The beautiful charming town has an abundance of restaurants and bars, and has plenty of non mountain based activities for those who may not be keen skiers. For those who are, its even more brilliant. A huge ski area with a plethora of runs varying from blues to blacks so there is something for everyone. The lifts are well maintained and fast, and the variety of huts and restaurants at the top is fantastic. Will continue to return for years!
