Kitzbühel Resort Guide
Resort Information
The breathtaking Kitzbüheler Alps and Wilder Kaiser mountains dominate the area and a trip on the Hahnenkamm or Kitzbüheler Horn cable cars is particularly recommended (the Hahnenkamm cable car also runs one evening per week). The nearby Schwarzsee lake is also a 'must' for the visitor. There are weekly brass band concerts, occasional folk concerts, and several lively keller bars to choose from or try your luck at the casino!
Walking

The scenery around the Schwarzsee lake is particularly beautiful, as are the waterfalls at Jochberg. Kitzbühel tourist office also organises daily guided walks, free with guest card from hotel.
