Tips for the perfect autumn day in Kitzbühel

Colorful autumn days

The snow-covered Hahnenkamm, the deeply snow-covered city center and the Schwarzsee covered in ice. Images that have created awareness in travel magazines and on the Internet and made the name Kitzbühel a famous one. A name that is primarily associated with superlative winter sports. But the winter idyll is only one of four magical seasons that characterize the Gamsstadt. 

AUTUMN IS THE SPRING OF WINTER

If you want to enjoy the peace and quiet, you will fall in love with Kitzbühel's autumn. Pure magic: when the mist settles like a mystical blanket over the Schwarzsee in the morning, the peak of the Kitzbüheler Horn rises out of dense clouds and variegated foliage makes for beautiful colorfulness, Kitzbühel is more beautiful than ever. A little quieter, a little more personal and certainly a lot more colorful than in winter. 

Here are a few tips for the perfect autumn day in Kitzbühel:

A little tip

If you come to Kitzbühel and want to enjoy the full culinary program, you shouldn't be on a diet. Although there are countless healthy alternatives to schnitzel, dumplings and the like, it is simply part of the Tyrolean way of life not to take it too seriously with the calories. If you want a rustic Tyrolean experience, don't miss the Huberbräu-Stüberl. If you like Italian, the crispy pizzas of the Centro will convince you, and if you want to be spoiled by the freshest lobster and other maritime delicacies, the 1st Lobster in the Gries is just right. Afterwards, perhaps into the nightlife, for a drink in a small pub like Flannigan's, here you can play a round of pool to good music. In pleasant pubs like the Glockenspiel you can end the evening.

Breakfast above the clouds

What would be a perfect day in Kitzbühel without not going up the mountain? If you still have enough energy after the walk to go for a hike, you can go to the Seidlalm. The hike takes between 40 minutes and an hour. The more leisurely option is to take the gondola or cab. Arrived at the Seidlalm, all kinds of Tyrolean delicacies await you in the cozy hut. From the alpine pasture, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the autumnal Gamsstadt. A breakfast with a view. If you start the descent on foot, you will pass the idyllic Seidlalmsee, which is nestled between high mountains and offers a view of the majestic Wilder Kaiser, a popular photo backdrop. You can also visit sections of the legendary Streif. You can get an idea of the steep and extreme slopes the best skiers have to master to win the most difficult ski race in the world, the Hahnenkamm race.

Herbstlandschaft mit See

The early bird catches the worm...

...the early bird catches the most picturesque scenes at Schwarzsee. Because in the morning hours, the moor lake offers a scenery that is unique and spectacular even for the locals who are usually so spoiled by beautiful landscapes. On many autumn days, in fact, Schwarzsee is shrouded in a layer of fog, offering a mystical atmosphere to walkers, morning sports enthusiasts and dog owners. If you take a stroll through the colorful foliage, through small sections of forest, you will spend a maximum of 25-40 minutes, depending on your speed - depending on how often you stop and marvel at the incredible scenery, snap photos and let the silence take over.
