First time on skis in Kitzbühel? Rent a beginner ski package with forgiving skis, comfortable boots, and optional lesson add-ons.
Home to the legendary Hahnenkamm downhill race, Kitzbühel combines prestige with charm.
Kitzbühel's summit is only 2,000m, but the Streif downhill course from the Hahnenkamm is considered the hardest on the World Cup circuit — 85% average gradient through the Mausefalle section. The rest of the mountain is mostly intermediate, with long cruisers linking to the neighbouring villages of Kirchberg and Jochberg.
Renting ski equipment in Kitzbühel is the smart choice for most visitors. Luggage costs for ski gear can exceed the price of a week-long rental, and local shops offer beginner ski package perfectly tuned for Kitzbühel's terrain — all levels level, 170 km of pistes at up to 2000m.
Kitzbühel is the oldest ski town in Austria with a medieval walled centre, unusual for the Alps — most après happens in the cafés around Vorderstadt rather than on the slopes themselves.
Typical daily beginner ski package in Kitzbühel costs €25–€50. Booking a full week package usually saves 15–25% compared to daily rates.
The Streif race course is groomed and open to the public the day after the January race weekend — one of the few times amateurs can legally ski the full Mausefalle jump section with the race nets still up.
