Kitzbühel in summer - What happens on the race track Streif?

The Streif in summer

Preparations for the Hahnenkamm Race begin as early as autumn - but what actually happens to the world-famous downhill race in summer? You can find out about this and much more here.

Summer on the Streif

In summer, the lush alpine meadows above the Streif largely belong to the cows. The farmers fertilize in spring, mow the hay and are also busy with enough work in the surrounding forest. When the cows are back in the valley, the Kitzbühel Ski Club begins preparations for the most important ski race of the year. The Streif is made fit for "the" ski race of the year.

A hike across the st

The trails along the Streif are maintained by our construction yard team of Kitzbühel Tourism. Experience racing feeling along the Streif even in summer? Yes, with four state-of-the-art infotainment LCD portals let you experience the most difficult downhill course in a new dimension. For all to see directly at the start house, at the mousetrap, in the entrance steep slope and at the Hausberg edge. Incredible TV recordings and films from the archives of the Kitzbühel Ski Club convey to visitors in the summer, the race course "Streif".

Streif-Attack

Once a year, in June, golf is even played on the Streif. The "Streif Attack" takes place as part of the annual golf festival. Many ski aces or Kitzbühel friends have already played here, such as Marco Büchel, Uschi Glas, Max and Werner Franz and many more. With the golf ball around a lot longer than with the skis in the winter. The "Streif-Attack" was invented years ago by the president of Kitzbühel Tourism and landlady of the Hotel Rasmushof, Mrs. Signe Reisch. Together with the Kitzbühel "golf pro" Hansi Kerscher, this unique golf tournament was created on the Streif.   

Target

Almost in the valley, with a magnificent view from the Hausberg ridge over Kitzbühel, the 9th hole golf course at Rasmushof stands out. Incredibly, here the ski racers jump towards the finish shot with over 140 kmh.  Arriving at the finish line, the ski stars are duly celebrated in winter. In summer, things are more leisurely, the golfers are happy about every stroke that is not necessary. The Streif is a highlight in summer and winter. On foot downhill or uphill, with skis or golf clubs, quite versatile the Streif.

Legend Park

At the end of the tour, the Legends Park is just a few steps away from the finish area. This was built on the occasion of the 75th Hahnenkamm Race in 2014. "For eternity" - here our heroes of skiing Toni Sailer, Christian Pravda, Christl Haas and Herbert Huber are honored accordingly.
