Season Info
The ski season in Kitzbühel typically extends from mid-October to early May, one of the longest non-glacier seasons in the Alps. Despite its lower altitude, the resort's advanced snowmaking system, covering 99% of marked runs with 850 snow cannons, ensures reliable conditions throughout winter. The region's unique microclimate and grassy slopes beneath require less snow cover to create skiable conditions, allowing for earlier opening and later closing dates than many higher resorts.
