Kitzbuhel Sightseeing

If only a glitzy, up-scale resort (but still with lots of charm) will do for you, then Kitzbuhel is the place to stay. There is a Louis Vuitton there…need I say more? We decided to stay in St. Johann because their hotel prices fitted our smaller budget. The official website is www.kitzbuchel.com for whatever information you need. In the summer, there are four local golf courses, 500 km of walking trails, 750 km of cycling trails, mountain biking routes and much more.

Kitzbuhel has a historical town center loaded with charm. …View image… There must have been four to six little Konditorei/Bakerei/Confiseries within a two-block area and a multitude of sidewalk cafes, horse-drawn carriage rides, etc..

I couldn’t take enough photos of all the pastel building with their intricate details….View image…, the old Grand Hotel Kitzbuhel dating from 1903 which is now an Alpine University….View image….

and we even walked by the Hotel Erika**** whose orange, gingerbread, victorian-style really caught my eye. Very unusual and beautiful from the outside, and my Kitzbuhel accommodation brochure showed prices to match on the inside!
