A great choice for intermediates that love to cover many kilometres. The terrain is highly varied, with easy rolling blue slopes to progress on and a massive range of harder blues and res to canvass if you are a little more confident. More experienced skiers will beat most of the skiers from Kitzbühel up to the Hahnenkamm by taking one of the less-crowded routes up from outside the village.

A good choice for advanced skiers but there are few really challenging black runs. There are some difficult red runs around the Kirchberg area, and some awesome off-piste. The resort offers guided off-piste tours that provide the challenges lacking in the downhill runs. The famous Hahnenkamm is a must ski for expert skiers. If you want more skiing, you can always invest in the new Kitzbühel Alps AllStar Card, which gives access to seven ski areas and 1,081 kilometres of piste.

There are several good English-speaking ski and snowboard schools in Kirchberg for every level, and more to be found in Kitzbühel.

One of Kirchberg's main attractions is its buzzing après-ski scene. There's an enormous variety of bars and clubs to visit, meaning many don't find their way onto the slopes until the next afternoon. You can choose a relaxed setting to sip on a quiet glass of wine to, or down Flugel with the best of them at rowdy bars. Party into the small hours at The London Pub or Boomerang, or get a more traditional taste of the Tyrol at the Kupferstub'n. There are also many restaurants, cafes and coffeehouses which provide a variety of cuisine and a thriving social scene. Restaurants range from the cosmopolitan to casual friendly environments. Everything from sauerkraut to tortillas and pizza can be found. For even more nightlife or to try a different restaurant, you can head over to Kitzbühel.

Away from the slopes and the nightlife there is much to do Kirchberg. Try ice skating or curling, take a sleigh ride or go bowling. There's also night skiing, winter walking trails, tobogganing, tubing, cross country skiing, gym, sauna and an indoor swimming pool. If you want to take in some of the sights, The Church of Our Lady, Liebfrauenkirche, which dates back to the 13th century, is a good place to start. It houses an impressive collection of beautiful ancient artworks. The Totensagra, built in 1637 and situated by the cemetery of Reith, is another good choice. It is one of most sacred and mysterious buildings in Tyrol.

Kirchberg is located in Tyrol, 86km east of Innsbruck and 90km west of Salzburg.

Salzburg (90 km) is the nearest international airport, with good public transport connections to Kirchberg. Trains go at least every hour to Kitzbühel and then on to Kirchberg ski resort, taking three hours to reach the resort. You can also get a bus from Salzburg train station which will be quicker than the train. The smaller airport Innsbruck (86 km) is closer but has limited flights. Another option is to fly into Munich Airport and hire a car to drive to Kirchberg.
