Kitzbühel and the surrounding region has a vast choice of on-mountain pit-stops, ranging from frugal simplicity to full-on dining: 41 mountain restaurants and huts in all. The Hochkitzbühel, a modern full-service restaurant is within easy reach of the top of the Hahnenkammbahn gondola – but a little pricey. There’s a sun terrace, umbrella bar, and a ski museum incorporating a Hahnenkamm race simulator. You can enjoy a candle-lit dinner here on Friday and Saturday nights too, for €35 including the gondola ride up and down. The Pengelstein Bergrestaurant, a large self-service restaurant, with a good choice of home-made dishes, has magnificent views of the biggest mountain on the horizon, the Grosser Rettenstein (2,366m/7,763 ft) and a big sun terrace. The Kasereckhütte is ideal for a quick pit-stop before you drift down from Pengelstein to Jochberg. The diminutive Bruggeralm, which also has a sun terrace, is an old family-run hut serving traditional dishes like Tiroler Gröstl (a delicious fry-up of potato, onion and bacon). Jochberg has a handy choice of restaurants around the base area near the Wagstätt lift. There are numerous restaurants along the final stretches of the Safari route between Bärenbadkogel and Pass Thurn. As its name suggests, the Panorama-Alm, high on the Zweitausender, has exquisite views. At Kirchberg, the Gasthof Maierl at the top of the Maierl lift specialises in Tirolean dishes like Blutwurst, Gröstl mit Spiegelei or Kasespätzle mit Röstzwiebel.
