Westendorf Village
Westendorf is a traditional Tirolean village situated 9 miles west of Kitzbuhel in the Brixental valley. Once a traditional farming village, Westendorf has not been taken over by modern developments and has retained its authentic Tirolean character.The village is relatively small, meaning the resort’s amenities are all conveniently located within short walking distance. The ski lifts are a short walk from the village centre, and with a population of under 4,000, there is not the same hustle and bustle in some of the larger nearby resorts. The village is set on a sunny plateau, and at 783 metres is relatively low lying, meaning it can become mild in the later months of the ski season.
The numerous hotels are a prominent feature of the village, and make up a significant portion of the evening activity as guests typically eat in their hotel restaurant. There are, however, also a number of shops and bars, including the Village Pub and the lively Karat for visitors wishing to explore Westendorf’s night life later into the evening.
There is a relatively limited offering in terms of shops in Westendorf, but the close proximity to Kitzbuhel means visitors don’t have to go far if they feel they have seen all there is to be seen in Westendorf.
