Kitzbuhel Christmas holidays
With its romantic medieval architecture, Kitzbühel is brimming with festive charm, making it a perfect destination for a Christmas ski holiday. Snow-covered and lit up with thousands of fairy lights, the town is a real yuletide spectacle.
Why not save your Christmas shopping for when you arrive in Kitzbühel, as there’s a brilliant Christmas market here throughout December as well as world class shopping in the town. Live music is played around the resort to add to the atmosphere and there are plenty of festive activities including a special children’s day. Kitzbühel usually has a show called the ‘Living Advent Calendar’ - a great event for families to enjoy every evening on the lead up to Christmas.
Skating on Kitzbühel’s beautiful natural ice rink (a lake) is a great Christmas activity and there’s also a floodlit toboggan run for more adrenalin fuelled family fun. In terms of Christmas partying, Kitzbühel’s lively après ski scene doesn’t disappoint in having "something for everyone" and there are also some more relaxed venues where the "grown-ups" can enjoy a winter-warming Glühwein.
Late December usually sees good Christmas skiing in Kitzbühel, which has a ski area to suit all levels of skier and ‘boarder including safe freestyle areas and a Snowpark, plus lots of artificial snow making. See historic snow depths at Christmas opposite and package deals below.
