- What Kitzbühel lures in the fall
Summer is still in full swing, but many are already preparing for their autumn holidays in the golden fall. A particularly beautiful region for this purpose is the Austrian Kitzbühel. Visitors can look forward to premium hiking trails, plenty of culinary delights, and a spectacular landscape in the Tyrolean Alps. This is what awaits those interested between late August and October.
Kitzbühel is worth a visit all year round - from varied ski and Christmas moments in winter to relaxing lake and hiking holidays in summer. But when the lower sun bathes Tyrol in golden light in autumn, the region reveals a special charm.
This can be particularly experienced on the hiking trails awarded with the European Hiking Quality Seal: the Alpine Blossom Panorama at the Kitzbüheler Horn, the Gamsroas, the Weiher Paradise in Bichlbach, or the Sintersbacher Waterfall. On more than 1,000 kilometers of well-signposted hiking paths, outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the impressive landscape.
Join free guided hikes
Those who don't dare to tackle the sometimes challenging tours alone or prefer to hike in groups can participate in free guided hikes. For this, tourists must be in possession of the Kitzbüheler Guest Card, which is issued by the landlord on site. Only if one wants to participate in the hikes as a group, vacationers are asked to coordinate with the hiking guides in advance on the Kitzbühel Tourism homepage.
Those who are not interested in long hikes but still want to enjoy the unique alpine panorama can indulge in the Horn peak breakfast. Depending on the season, the Horn cable car leaves as early as 4:30 AM, taking vacationers to over 2,000 meters above sea level, where a Tyrolean mountain breakfast awaits at sunrise.
Kitzbühel's culinary delights
However, the Horn peak breakfast is not the only culinary highlight. From gourmet cuisine to traditional inns to various mountain huts, the region has enough to offer, so the culinary highlights of autumn are presented in a gourmet guide. For this, the Kitzbühel businesses have created their own autumn recipes.
In addition, there are the events "Kitz Kulinarik" on August 30th and 31st, when Kitzbühel gastronomes turn the historic old town into a culinary festival, and "Kitz Kulinarik x Piemont" from October 10th to 13th, where specialties like truffles, pasta, cheese, or wine from Piedmont are the focus.
During their autumn vacation, hikers can join free guided hikes in Kitzbühel to explore the region's stunning landscapes on well-signposted trails. After a long day of hiking, visitors can indulge in the region's delicious culinary delights, including gourmet cuisine, traditional inns, and mountain huts, showcased in an autumn gourmet guide.
