"Skiing is the best thing ever" – especially when it comes to the endless skiing fun between the Salzburg region and Tyrol in Austria
“In the morning, I’m the first one to hit the slopes. So I don’t have to wait so long to get going!” What Austria’s most famous pop star sang so gloriously back in 1976 is only partly true today. Because even those who set off a little later to enjoy the skiing will get their money’s worth here. With the Panoramabahn Kitzbüheler Alpen, you’ll be in one of the world’s most famous ski resorts in no time at all – the KitzSki Kitzbühel – Kirchberg – Mittersill. Whether you dare to take a look at the infamous Streif or prefer to practise your turns on the blue and red runs is entirely up to you. And even if this unique and vast ski resort isn’t enough for you. In the area surrounding KitzSki – “our ski resort” – there are many more fantastic ski resorts within a 30-minute drive. Endless skiing fun, so to speak! And one thing is certain: at the end of the day, you’ll be left with rosy cheeks and an unforgettable experience.
From Mittersill and Hollersbach, you can take the Kitzbühel Alps Panoramic Cable Car and the Resterhöhe 6-seater chairlift directly to world’s best ski resort, Kitzbühel – Kirchberg – Mittersill (Kitzski). Right at the entrance on our Salzburg side, with a view of the 3,000-metre peaks of the Hohe Tauern National Park, the official training centre of the Austrian and German Ski Associations is situated on the Resterkogel. Right where the world’s top slalom skiers practise their turns in early winter, your skiing fun begins. And if you’re keen and have the time, it’ll take you all the way to the legendary Kitzbühel Streif and beyond!
