Itter

Brixental Valley shapes the setting of Gemeinde Itter — the municipality climbs the lower slopes of the Kitzbühel Alps, between the Hohe Salve and the valley’s farm country. Itter belongs to the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser–Brixental area, whose lifts and pistes connect several Tyrolean resorts in winter; in warmer months, the same terrain is used for walks and mountain biking. Above the settlement stands Castle Itter, a medieval fortress associated with an extraordinary episode at the end of the Second World War. In May 1945, US soldiers and German Wehrmacht troops jointly defended French prisoners there against Waffen-SS attackers. Browse other webcams across Tyrol to place Itter in a wider Alpine context.
