Whether legendary sports events, contemporary art or culinary highlights - the Gamsstadt stands for a unique combination of sports and lifestyle. The diverse program is also reflected in our calendar of events in an inimitable way and offers unique entertainment in the valley and on the mountain. The varied repertoire in winter and summer offers something special for every preference. In the midst of the Tyrolean mountains, Kitzbühel forms an impressive stage for sporting, cultural, musical or culinary event highlights and exudes pure alpine lifestyle.
With the Snow Polo Tournament, Kitzbühel welcomes the new year with top-class winter sports.
The event is considered the world's largest polo tournament on snow and shines with action-packed equestrian sport and noble ambience. Enjoy the exciting games in front of the magnificent backdrop of the Wilder Kaiser.
Every year, the best skiers in the world travel to the most legendary sports town in the Alps to take on the challenge of Kitzbühel at the Hahnenkamm Races. With the highlights of the two Hahnenkamm downhill races and the slalom, the most spectacular ski race will take place for the 85th time from 20 to 26 January 2025.
Things usually go downhill quickly on the famous Streif. Not so at the Vertical Up on 22 February 2025. The winner here is whoever gets from the bottom to the top fastest. A unique experience not just for the participants. At the legendary Streif Downhill, skiers only need around two minutes to reach the finish in the valley on the 3,312 meter long Streif. Conquering the race track in the opposite direction is much more difficult. This is exactly what the Vertical Up is all about.
The extraordinary series of events that combine the joy of sport and action with a party atmosphere. Experience adrenaline rushes while riding moguls on the Bumps & Jumps, at the 80s themed Spring Swing 'Wedel' Contest (the pretzel-like ski twisting technique) as well as at the Kitzbühel Extreme Waterslide Contest. The series of events will conclude with the Masters of the Swing Tournament - a combined competition of two disciplines, skiing and golf. Exciting workshops, DJ sets, drinks and snacks create a great atmosphere. Soak up the sun and get your ski groove on in fantastic ski areas.
Timeless passion. This is what the Kitzbühel Alpine Rally has stood for for over three decades and will continue to celebrate the art of automotive engineering in 2025. Three days, 600 kilometres, breathtaking panoramic views and rounded off with a high-quality experience: the Alpine Rally brings together fans of iconic classics, youngtimers and exotic vehicles.
Enjoy one of the biggest youth football tournaments in Europe in Kitzbühel. The Cordial Cup Tirol is now one of the best-organised youth football tournaments, with renowned clubs from all over the world (FC Barcelona, FC Bayern Munich, FC Liverpool, FC Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund and many other top teams from recent years) taking part every year.
Summit meeting for golfers and gourmets. On the festival days from 22 to 29 June 2025, you will be pampered by hood chefs, chefs at hood level and 6 selected Austrian vintners. This is golfing at hood level, a festival also of pleasure. 4 golf courses - 4 fantastically beautiful backdrops.

Saturday, 29th of March and Sunday 30th of March. From the mountain to the valley to the Kitzbühel Mainstage and on to the farms.
Not only spring is associated with the blossoming landscape, but also Easter. Under the motto "Nature, Tradition and Stories", the resurrection of Christ will once again be celebrated in the Gamsstadt in April - with a colorful children's program, pony rides, Easter shop window competition and the Kitzbühel gourmet market.
Numerous old Easter customs and traditions are just as much a part of Kitzbühel as the many colorful Easter eggs in all sizes, detailed flower arrangements and loving decorations.
In July 2025, Kitzbühel will again enable upcoming opera stars to give atmospheric concerts at top tourist locations. The young singers get the chance to showcase their talent in front of an audience and gain stage experience in a unique, idyllic setting.

The mix of classical opera arias and well-known international songs has a lot to offer for experienced opera fans as well as for beginners.
For the 99th time, the Stadtmusik Kitzbühels invites you to the traditional festival in the city center. Music bands, bars and regional food stands, fun activities and many other attractions as well as the fun relaxed atmosphere make the Gamsstadt the place to be.
