Tyrol: Innsbruck to Kitzbühel – Route Guide
Last updated:
The Alps at their most Austrian: Innsbruck's Golden Roof with a 2,300-metre wall of mountains behind it, the Kaiser range's limestone teeth, and Kitzbühel's medieval lanes pretending not to be glamorous. Cable cars do the climbing; you do the strudel. In winter this is ski aristocracy, in summer you get it all half-price and green.

Cable cars run their summer schedules onto the high trails, the Nordkette rises straight out of Innsbruck's old town, and lake water in the Kaisergebirge warms just enough.
