Come to Kitzbuehel und enjoy a fabolous holiday - By: Bettina Gustav

Situated in the Kitzbueheler Alpen, these resorts offer the perfect conditions for high altitude training and winter sports. The allure of Kitzbuehel lies in its contrasting landscape, which not only offers innumerable opportunities for sports and leisure, but is also ranked as the number one holiday resort in Austria.
In summer Kitzbuehel is a paradise for hikers & trekking fans:
The mountain ranges and peaks in the Kitzbuehel Alps are known for their predominantly gentle slopes and pretty formations. Cattle graze on expansive meadows and hills that are cultivated and farmed up to an altitude of 2,000 metres. From a geological perspective, the Kitzbueheler Alps are part of the zone known as greywacke and are composed mainly of slate. The locally used term for these mountains is “grassy mountains.”
The Kitzbuehel Alps extend from Zeller See in the east all the way to the Zillertal in the west, which is where the highest point in the mountain range (the Kreuzjoch at 2,558 metres) is geographically located in the state of Salzburg. Two-thirds of the mountain range is located in the Tyrol, while the remaining third is part of the state of Salzburg. The Geißstein, located at the state border between Salzburg and Tyrol with an elevation of 2,363 metres, is known as the highest grassy mountain in the Alps. The Große Rettenstein (2,366 m) is the most monumental mountain in the Kitzbuehel mountain range and is clearly visible even from a significant distance. Its rugged rocky mountain peak really stands out in the midst of grass-covered mountains.
