Mountain Summer Opening

When in the Kitzbühel Alps the white of winter gives way to the green of spring, things get lively not only on the Alpine meadows. Because just as colourfully as the deep blue gentian, bright purple asters and subtly yellow primroses, also shines the event programme. From mid-May, no less than four holiday regions of the Kitzbühel Alps show just what variety means.
Be it the Holiday Region Hohe Salve, Brixental Valley, St. Johann in Tirol region or PillerseeTal: Now the time has come to celebrate into mountain summer! And that with plenty of sports, culture, nature and indulgence!
