Kirchberg in Tirol suits couples and small families who want to ski KitzSki from a village 6 km west of Kitzbühel. In summer the same hills turn into mountain-bike country. The homes are compact, mostly for two to four, and none has a garden.
Kirchberg, a municipality of about 5,200 people, lies at 837 metres where the Spertental opens into the Brixental, 6 km west of Kitzbühel. A railway has run along this valley since 1875, and Innsbruck is a little over an hour away by regional express. The mountains around are soft, grassy ones rather than rock walls. Lifts from Kirchberg include the Fleckalmbahn gondola and the Gaisberg four-seat chairlift, and the village is home to a bike school at the Fleckalmbahn valley station. The homes sit close to the village and are small, mostly sleeping two to four; a few have a pool or sauna, and none has a garden.
The ski town 6 km away, whose station sits right by the Hahnenkammbahn valley station.
A Brixental village at 794 metres, where several of the valley's headstreams come together.
Salzburg airport is around an hour and a quarter by car. Innsbruck is about an hour by car or a little over an hour by regional express, and Munich a good hour and a half by car via Wörgl. Ski buses link the KitzSki valley stations with the surrounding villages, so a ski week can work without a car.
Winter means KitzSki and the 88 km ski circuit linking it with the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental. In summer the grassy hills turn to mountain biking, with the Fleckalmtrail, billed as Tyrol's longest singletrail, dropping more than 1,000 metres.
KitzSki, the Kitzbühel ski area, with 179 km of pistes and 57 lifts. It also forms an 88 km ski circuit with the SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental, and ski buses run between the valley stations and neighbouring villages.
Yes, with its own bike school and lift-served trails. The Bikeacademy at the Fleckalmbahn valley station hires bikes and runs courses, and trails range from the flowing Lisi Osl Trail to the long, difficult Fleckalmtrail.
Both share the same ski area, as Kirchberg lies 6 km west of Kitzbühel. Choose Kirchberg for a village base with its own lifts, Kitzbühel for the town itself and its station beside the Hahnenkammbahn.
Easily. The line through the Brixental has run since 1875, and Innsbruck is a little over an hour away by regional express. From Munich the journey takes about two hours with a change in Wörgl.
