Kitzbuhel - Kirchberg

About

The resort annually hosts the World Cup ski race in the winter while in the summer months the town braces itself for the arrival of Europe’s glitterati to attend the Austrian Tennis Open. This spectacular valley town is mostly pedestrianized in the center, which makes for ideal sightseeing and browsing the up-market shops and the winding, cobblestone streets that ooze charm and elegance. To make the most of any visit to Kitzbuhel, then the town ideally needs to be viewed from high in order to appreciate its stunning Alpine setting. Take the Hahnenkamm cable car, relax and enjoy the eye-popping views as it ascends to the station at the top of the mountain where there is the James Bond-esque world famous Restaurant Hochkitzbühel. The restaurant is renowned for its cuisine and not only provides an excellent choice of stopover for lunch but offers views of Kitzbuhel to die for, whether from inside the restaurant or outside on the terrace.
