Cosmopolitan lifestyle and idyllic nature, rustic tradition and a modern attitude to life: hardly any other town combines these contrasts as skilfully as Kitzbühel. The sports capital of the Alps became world-famous thanks to the legendary Hahnenkamm race, but that is only one facet of the Kitzbühel myth. Rather, it is the incomparable charm of the region with the four towns of Kitzbühel, Reith, Aurach and Jochberg, the excellent infrastructure with top hotels and gastronomy, the multitude of sporting opportunities and the fascinating landscape that make Kitzbühel unique.

MARKET Quality Award WORLD SKI AWARDS Internationaler Skiareatest SKIRESORT.DE

MARKET Quality Award

In the MARKET market test of ski resorts, Kitzbühel again takes first place in 2022. This means that Kitzbühel continues to be number 1 among all the ski regions surveyed and the ski area in the Gamsstadt around the KitzSki brand repeatedly secures the overall Austrian victory with top marks despite a difficult starting position.

MARKET has been conducting industry-related market tests for many years and, with around 1.6 million ratings, is considered the largest market study company in Austria. In the process, a large number of their market tests are evaluated by relevant content criteria from the customer's point of view. The top 3 each receive a MARKET Quality Award.

A wide variety of factors are included in the evaluation. The first is key performance, including awareness, frequency of use, willingness to buy or price-performance ratio. Secondly, the brand drive (driving force for the future) plays an important role. This includes sympathy, brand loyalty, innovation and recommendation. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is also considered an influence, such as social responsibility or trust in brands. In general, of course, the overall impression also counts.
