Our suggestions for a rainy day
Kitzbühel Museum - Alfons Walde Collection
The Kitzbühel Museum is located in two of the city’s oldest historical buildings and gives unique insight into the history of Kitzbühel. Selected exhibits and film and sound installations take visitors from the town’s roots in Bronze Age mining to winter sports with Toni Sailer and the legendary "Kitzbühel Wonder Team." The focus of the collection is Alfons Walde. The museum presents the works of the Kitzbühel artist with 60 of his paintings as well as over 100 graphics, drawings, photographs and prints.

Sports, fun and games – all under one roof for the whole family. An area spanning nearly 50,000 square feet offers a wide range of activities under one roof – multifaceted and open all year round, regardless of the weather.

Shopping dreams in Kitzbühel
Kitzbühel pairs urban flair with characteristic Tyrolean hospitality, offering culinary diversity and an exclusive shopping experience. It’s the best combination of sports and lifestyle. With its short distances between shops, Kitzbühel’s city center is known for its perfect atmosphere for shopping in the Alps. International brands and Kitzbühel fashion originals – like Sportalm, Frauenschuh, Franz Prader, and Helmut Eder – stud the display windows. A discovery tour is also worthwhile at the handicraft businesses of the Kitzbühel Master Guild where they make exquisite arts and crafts.
Hinterobernau Farmhouse Museum
The Hinterobernau farm has its origins in the 16th century, and since the 1970s, it has been laid out as the first farmhouse museum in Tyrol. The typical Salzburg-Tyrolean Einhof with its annexes, such as the laundry, chapel, oven, bee hut, threshing floor and cart hut, were elaborately restored and turned into a museum. The furnishings in the farmhouse are original and well cared for.
Kitzbühel Aquarena
Enjoy our spacious wellness and leisure facility for relaxing, swimming and simply splashing around. The Kitzbühel Aquarena will entertain the whole family with its 80 foot sports pool, bathing landscape with a waterfall, two large adventure slides and a pool for small children.
Kegeln
Eine Runde Kegeln und italienisches Essen? Das perfekte Rezept für einen unvergesslichen Abend. Die Kegelbahn in Kitzbühel direkt nebem dem Ristorante Pizzeria Don Luigi macht's möglich! In der Sky Lounge im Sportpark Kitzbühel stehen zwei moderne, vollautomatische Kegelbahnen für eine Kegelpartie bereit.
Alle Neune heißt es auch auf zwei modernen Kegelbahnen im Kulturhaus in Reith. Aber nicht nur Kegelfreunde fühlen sich hier wohl! Es wird auch Billard gespielt und die Bar ist auch sonst ein beliebter Treffpunkt für Einheimische und Gäste. Für den kleinen Hunger gibt Kleinigkeiten zum Essen.
Kitzbühel Krampus Museum
The world of Krampus, maintaining the regional Krampus tradition and exhibiting real cultural customs. Admire hand-carved Krampus masks from as early as 1903 all the way to modern, traditional masks. Upon request, you can also get the chance to look over the shoulder of a carver while he’s making a mask. A guided tour of the Krampus Museum is available by appointment.
Lisi World – 500m² of fun and games for kids
In Lisi World, the new indoor play paradise flooded with sunlight, clever girls and daring boys are the big winners. In more than 500m² (~5400 sq. ft.), you’ll find all kinds of fun: a maze and a wave slide, a spider tower and a fun shooter area, table tennis and a trampoline, tricky games, science experiments and a separate area for the little ones.
