The ski resort of Kitzbühel in the Austrian Tyrol will stay open until 1 May

The ski resort of Kitzbühel in the Austrian Tyrol will stay open until 1 May. Kitzbühel traditionally has one of the longest seasons in Europe and will yet again be one of the first non-glacial resort in the Alps to open next winter — on 21 October.

Kitzbühel sits in the Kitzbühel Alps, and is a former silver-mining town at an altitude of 760m. The resort has 215km of pistes, extending to 2,000m. Some 119km of its runs are covered by artificial snow, which boosts its lengthy season. This year an extra 55 snow-making machines and 9km of snow-making pipes were added up to the mid-station on Kitzbühler Horn.

Details of which lifts and pistes are open are updated here daily.
