Kirchberg Mountain Restaurants
Kirchberg and the KitzSki ski area have plenty of traditional Tirolean mountain restaurants, with a range of options to suit either a quick pit stop or a long mountain lunch. There are 60 mountain restaurants in total, and friendly service, large portions and Schnapps are all par for the course.With so many restaurants to choose from, you won’t have a problem finding a restaurant in any section of the ski area. There are a concentration of huts and restaurants accessible from either the Hahnenkamm cable car or Ehrenbachhöhe lift, though the easy access from Kitzbühel can mean these can become quite busy, particularly during holiday periods.
Closer to Kirchberg, the Ochsalm hut is a popular option, particular for families, for whom the sun terrace, close proximity to the Maierlbahn and easy access for beginners are a welcome bonus to the good food. The restaurants around Steinbergkogel and Ochsalm typify the good value that can be found in Kirchberg, with the traditional Schutzhütte Steinbergkogel and Fleckalm notable examples. There are also a number of après ski huts on the run down to Kirchberg, including the Schneebar Oberkaser, Maierlalm and Schi-Alm,
Local guides also speak highly of the mountain restaurants closer to Aschau, singling out Gauxerstadl and Usterwies as good lunchtime stop-offs with a cosy & rustic feel.
Elsewhere in the area, the Kitzbüheler Horn boasts some scenic views from its sun-blessed huts, and an evening meal on the Gaisberg is highly recommended. The Obergaisberg is an excellent location for an evening meal, offering superb traditional dishes and a break from the floodlight tobogganing down the mountain.
