As the winter season approaches, Kitzbühel gears up for an exhilarating start to the ski season. This year, the festivities are scheduled from December 5th to 8th, 2003, marking the official commencement of winter sports activities in the region.
One of the most enticing offers during the opening is the opportunity for winter sports enthusiasts to participate in free equipment tests and trial ski lessons provided by local ski schools. This initiative not only encourages newcomers to embrace skiing but also allows seasoned skiers to experience the latest gear on the market.
The opening program is not just about learning and testing; it's also about competition and speed. The Hahnenkamm Cup and races organized by the Kitzbüheler Ski Club showcase the talents of local and visiting athletes. Moreover, the "Mausefalle Blizzard Speed Cup" invites speed demons to test their mettle on the most challenging section of the world-famous Streif course.
Weather conditions in the Alps can be unpredictable, but when favorable, Kitzbühel has been known to open its slopes up to two weeks before the official start date. However, during these early days, the lift operations are somewhat limited, providing a soft opening for the season.
Aligning with the winter opening, the Kitzbüheler Christmas Market begins, transforming the historic center into a magical Christmas scene. The market is a perfect complement to the ski season launch, offering a warm and festive experience for visitors and locals alike.
