Easter in Kitzbühel

Cherished Traditions to marvel and participate

When the snow up on the mountains glistens in the sun, the air is filled with birdsong and the first flowers lift their colourful heads up towards the sky, you know spring has arrived in Tirol. If you look closely, you may even catch sight of a nimble shadow with long ears and a small bobble tail scampering around Kitzbühel’s parks and gardens. After all, the blossoming landscape is not only a sign of spring but also marks the start of the run-up to Easter. This year, Kitzbühel will yet again celebrate the resurrection of Christ true to the motto “Nature, tradition and stories”. A multitude of old Easter customs and traditions are an integral part of springtime in Kitzbühel, as are the many colourful Easter eggs in all different sizes, lovingly created flower arrangements and wonderful decorations. A various easter program is waiting for you from 3rd until 19th of April 2020.

Easter holds history, stands for handed-down traditions and enjoyable recipes that should not be forgotten. The Easter programme in Kitzbühel includes highlights for the whole family, such as Easter egg dyeing with natural colours, making Easter candles and traditional Easter pastries, but the programme also includes interesting customs celebrations and theme walks to regional pilgrimage sites.
