Where to stay - Kitzbuhel - Austria

With its cobbled, medieval centre, Kitzbuhel is undoubtedly one of the nicest towns you could choose to stay in. Delightful architecture melds with chic boutiques. If you are feeling flush, then splash out on one of the many elegant hotels in the traffic free centre.

There is also a surprisingly plentiful amount of accommodation for more modest wallets, and even in town, self-catering apartments, chalets, guest houses and B&Bs can be found. Wherever you are staying, you are bound to be won over by the genuineness of Tyrolean hospitality.

Accommodation

Chalets

For many, the beauty of catered chalet holidays is the food - breakfast, afternoon tea and a three course evening meal with free wine - and someone to cook it and wash up afterwards. You have the freedom of your own space rather than the more formal environment of a hotel which can be great if you are with a group of friends and can take over the whole chalet.

Hotels

Hotels tend to be the more luxurious option, often with welcome facilities such as steam rooms, swimming pools and on-site bars (although check out the luxury chalet operators too). They are often the best option for short breaks but at peak times even they may demand a minimum stay of one week.

Apartments

If you prefer to be your own boss then you should think about self-catered accommodation. You have to be fairly organised to shop and cook after a full day on the slopes and eating out every night can add up, although take-aways are an option, and you have the chance to check out some of the local restaurants too.
