Resort Information
Kirchberg lies in the heart of the spectacular Kitzbüheler Alps just 6km along the valley from Kitzbühel. Kirchberg is the quieter of the two villages and is set in the stunning Brixen valley. The village is centered around the imposing village church from which it derives it's name "Kirche am Berg" (Church on the mountain). There's plenty to amuse you around the area, including the nearby Schwarzsee, a strikingly beautiful mountain lake or the fabulous Alpine flower garden, at the top of the Kitzbühelerhorn. With two 18 hole golf courses, rugged mountain bike trails as well as 180km of walking paths, it's no wonder guests return year after year.
