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.

Working as a ski instructor in Kitzbühel was an amazing experience. There are loads of really long pistes perfect for carving. As well as good off-piste runs and a great snow park. It can get very busy at times but this is only during peak season and it makes après all the more enjoyable.

The Ressort is very nice for Skier WHO want Relax and for Skier they want to go faster on the slopes. But when you want to go Park skiing there is a nice little Park that called ,,PassthurnSnowpark'' its in Jochberg. But in Kitzbühel is a nice big Airbag since last year
I'ts overall a nice ski Ressort for advanced Skier but also for beginners.

The kitzski area is amazing, the scenery is beautiful and the diversity of the runs is unbearable. I recommend staying in kirchberg in tirol, it's better value for money than in kitzbuhel itself, sports equipment hire has to be at SPORTRUDI, they are by far the best for high quality equipment and have great experience. The apres ski in the area is unmatched and there are too many good places to recommend just one, but skihutte oberkaser has to be one of the best for on mountain apres. There are tonnes of good options for dining and something for everyone, restaurant Daxer, pfeffermuhle and hotel bechlwirt are some of the best.
There are options for night skiing on the gaisberg and also rodelbahn day and night, I recommend going at night and stopping in by the obergaisberg restaurant for a quick meal on your way down.
The runs are normally groomed nightly unless there is a dump of fresh powder, they leave the powder on the runs, when this happens make sure you get up on the mountain early before the moguls build up.
Whether you are a beginner or a well seasoned skiier, the kitzski area has something for you.

Great resort, even with not enough snow the runs are well groomed. Views are fantastic from almost everywhere. Lots of great lifts with ongoing improvements. Can be very busy due to such good transport links to the rest of Austria and south Germany. Would recommend for intermediate + skiers. Particularly good for advanced skiers.

I love Kitzhubel, I visited at Easter and the snow was decent. The lifts are very luxurious with heated seats and leather chairs. The pistes are very well maintained with different pistes for each skill level. There is Wi-Fi all across the whole resort which surprised me. There is a lot of off piste terrain which is great. The resort is not too high however there are still nice and long runs. You can ski on a piste that was used for the Winter Olympics downhill race which was very challenging. There is a lot of choice for the apres ski and the prices are quite good with a pint of lager costing me 5 euros. Overall I rate this resort 4.5 out of 5 and I definitely reccomend it to anybody.

A lot narrower pistes than youd be likely to get in france. Really ornate, pretty village. I wouldnt recommend it for a first timer, but any confident skier will have an amazing time here. There werent too many apres ski options that we were aware of, although my whole party were so tired after skiing. One day, we had a partial whiteout and a lot of lifts were closed but it was really good they managed to keep a few open so we could still utilise our holiday.
