Ski Circus

Despite the crowds, especially during the famed World Cup downhill on the Hahnenkamm, the discos and the shops, Kitzbühel manages to retain a Tirolean charm. The partly-walled town with a 700-year history has lively streets with a medieval charm and 160 km of runs served by 64 lifts in the area. Because it is relatively low at 800 meters above sea level snow conditions can be a problem early or late in the season. Located seven km to the west, the town of Kirchberg is a quieter and less expensive alternative to Kitzbühel although it shares the same skiing area. The lift lines, which can be problem at Kitzbühel, are also shorter at Kirchberg. Despite the reputation of the Hahnenkamm as the most challenging of the men's downhill races, there is skiing for all levels of ability.
