Kitzbuhel / Village
© copyright Kitzbühel Tourist Office
Once a copper-mining centre, the town became an important staging
post on the shortest route between Bavaria and Venice. The Chizzo
family ruled it in the 12th century - hence ?Chizbuhel?. Apart from the
beauty of its local mountains, the Kitzbüheler Alps, the town is
blessed with an exquisite walled centre, divided into two rectangular
areas ? Vorderstadt and Hinterstadt. Even in ski-boots, visitors feel
compelled to walk the narrow cobbled streets, savouring the gabled
houses with their frescos, archways and colour-washed facades, as the
bells of the Liebfrauenkirche and the nearby 14th Century St. Andreas
parish church ring out. Kitzbühel is especially picturesque with snow
on the ground (not always a given), as hundreds of wealthy guests
promenade, many of the women wrapped in voluminous furs, and the men
frequently towed by large dogs. The period between Christmas and the
staging of the celebrated Hahnenkamm races is the most exhilarating in
the party town?s calendar.
