Hotel Schwarzer Adler, Kitzbühel

Hot and cold breakfast buffet

Many Austrian hotels do not serve free tap water with meals.

Kitzbühel is renowned for the legendary Hahnenkamm World Cup race, but its slopes cater to far more than expert skiers. From wide, open runs high on the mountain to scenic tree-lined pistes descending into the valley, the 233km ski area offers plenty of variety for intermediate skiers. Confident skiers can take on the famous Streif downhill course, while the high-altitude Resterhöhe sector is perfect for quieter slopes and excellent snow conditions.

Known as 'Glitzy Kitz', the town effortlessly combines Alpine charm with sophisticated style. Wander through its colourful medieval streets, where designer boutiques, elegant cafés and historic buildings create a unique atmosphere. Accommodation ranges from luxurious five-star hotels to welcoming family-run guesthouses, making Kitzbühel accessible for a variety of budgets.

When the lifts close, the resort's renowned après-ski scene comes to life. Whether you prefer stylish cocktail bars, traditional Austrian pubs or lively venues with music and dancing, there's something to suit every mood.

Away from the slopes, there's plenty to keep you entertained. Catch the latest film at the cinema, enjoy a game at the bowling alley, try your luck in the casino, or experience the local sporting passion by watching an ice hockey match at the town's rink.
