Kitzbühel is a town in Tyrol, Austria situated in the Kitzbühel Alps about 100 kilometres east of Innsbruck.
Today it is known as a ski resort but dates as far back as a copper mining town between 1100 and 800 BC.
St. Catherine’s Church in the town centre was built 1360–1365.
Kitzbühel is one of Austria’s best-known winter sports resorts, situated between the mountains Hahnenkamm (1712 m) and Kitzbühler Horn (1996 m).
The Hahnenkamm is home of the annual World Cup ski races including the downhill on the famous Streif slope. This downhill is counted as one of the toughest downhill competitions in the World Cup.
