Kitzbuhel: Kitzbüheler Horn

Kitzbühel straddles the Kitzbüheler Ache in Tyrol, and its position below the Kitzbühel Alps has made the town a longstanding centre for Alpine sport. The Hahnenkamm rises on the western side of town; each January, its Streif course hosts the Hahnenkamm Races, a major event on the Alpine Ski World Cup calendar. Behind the sport, the compact old centre preserves colourful townhouses and the medieval Church of Our Lady, while the Kitzbühel Museum holds works by local painter Alfons Walde. In summer, the same slopes and valleys support hiking and cycling. View additional webcams nearby to better understand how Kitzbühel relates to the Tyrolean Alps.

Tyrol combines an energetic alpine identity with an established urban culture in a way that reflects its position within the central Eastern Alps. Innsbruck, the regional capital on the River Inn, lies beneath the Nordkette range and brings imperial-era architecture into close contact with high mountain terrain. Its Golden Roof remains one of the city’s best-known historic landmarks, while the surrounding valleys connect settlements, ski areas and hiking country across the region.

Austria stretches from the Bohemian Massif along its northern edge to the Carnic Alps on the Italian border, encompassing high Alpine ranges and the Danube lowlands. The Danube links cities including Linz and Vienna, while the Grossglockner, at 3,798 metres, is the country’s highest mountain. Vienna developed for centuries as the seat of the Habsburg court, leaving imperial architecture around the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palace. Salzburg is closely associated with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who was born there in 1756. Alpine Tyrol, wine-growing areas east of Vienna and the lakes of Salzkammergut add markedly different regional identities.
