KITZBÜHEL, AUSTRIA

Kitzbühel is the quintessential Austrian ski resort with glamour, history and oodles of Tyrolean charm. The pretty medieval town east of Innsbruck is renowned for the fun it offers on and off the slopes while neighbouring village Kirchberg is quieter. Adrenaline fans flock to watch the nail-bitingly steep Streif World Cup downhill ski race held on Mount Hahnenkamm.
