1. Climb to the Top of Kitzbüheler Horn
The 1,998-meter-tall Kitzbüheler Horn to the northeast of Kitzbühel is one of the best known of Austria’s many mountain peaks. Summit highlights include the picturesque old house known as Gipfelhaus, a chapel, and the Alpenhaus restaurant, all of them easily reached by cable car via the 1,273-meter Pletzeralm.
2. Go Skiing in Kitzbuhel
South of Kitzbüheler Horn rises the equally impressive 1,772-meter Hornköpfli. Also reached by cableway during the ski season, together it and the other mountains in the immediate vicinity make up one of the top ski destinations in Austria, if not Europe. In fact, once the snow flies, Kitzbühel and its surrounds are thronged with skiers from around the world.
