Who hasn't heard of the hardest down hill slope in Kitzbühel? The pretty town of Kirchberg is a mere 5km away. Locals are not only specialized in mountain-tourism but also horses. They graze all around. The main landmark is the church on the mountain.

where we stay- Weinberghof
Our quarters are in a former inn on a hill with a gorgeous view of Kirchenberg. The rooms are very big and comfortable. Every room has access to a terrace or a balcony.
The building has a dedicated cinema hall that seats 15 people and also a billiard room.
Our group rented the entire building and we have our own chef.
