WINTER FAIRY TALE The holiday resorts of Kitzbühel, Reith, Aurauch and Jochberg are a large part of the reason why this region is renowned as a winter holiday destination. It’s relatively easy to get to, with long winters and reliable snow conditions, while a multitude of sports activities such as the winter classics, unique events including the Hahnenkamm Races plus maximum comfort are the hallmarks of these iconic Alpine resorts. In 1893, skiing pioneer Franz Reisch


completed Austria’s first high alpine ski run from Kitzbüheler Horn and this became the starting point for Kitzbühel’s development as a winter sports town. Almost 130 years later, Kitzbühel

still conveys the pure joy of winter. In addition to the world-famous Streif, a World Cup downhill ski piste, a total of almost 145 miles of downhill runs delights skiers. But that’s not all Kitzbühel has to offer — there’s also cross-country skiing, winter hiking and snowshoeing, tobogganing, ice skating, curling and a host of exciting new sports. Down in the valley, where families enjoy free


practice lifts, visitors can explore snow-covered meadows, fields and forests. When winter hiking or cross-country skiing, visitors can discover the deep sense of peace in Kitzbühel. With 43.5 miles of optimally groomed
