Mountain Summer Opening

Celebrating summer in the Kitzbühel Alps

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 activities on offer. From May 2025, 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: From May it's time to start the mountain summer again! And that with plenty of sports, culture, nature and indulgence! No less than 20 Tirolean townships roll out the red carpet for mountain summer and invite visitors to enjoy a wide range of events and culinary treats.
