　　KITZBUHEL

　　If you are looking for a winter adventure and want to try some of the finest and most challenging skiing in the world, then you should try a visit to Kitzbuhel. Located in southern Austria, Kitzbuhel is a paradise for skiers. Even though the altitude of the city and its surrounding Alps is not enough to guarantee snow, the good weather and breath-taking scenery make Kitzbuhel a world-class ski resort.

　　Kitzbuhel is also home to one of the most challenging and exciting downhill slopes in the world. The world's best and fastest skiers gather here once a year to compete in the downhill race that everyone wants to win. But there is no need to worry if you have never skied before. There are plenty of easier slopes and Kitzbuhel is well known for its many ski schools.

　　Skiing is not the only thing you can do in Kitzbuhel. The town offers many shops, cafés and a wide variety of entertainment. A walk around Kitzbuhel is a feast for the eyes -- a lively mix of old village culture and the excitement of an international tourist area. Should you have enough energy left after a day on the slopes, you can take a dip in the pool, work out at the gym or go dancing in one of the city's many hotels and clubs.
