Golf enthusiasts will also find joy here: depending on the weather, the Mittersill golf course often remains open until mid-November, offering unforgettable rounds surrounded by a magnificent alpine panorama.

Getting Fit for the Winter Season

To make sure your first ski days in the Kitzbühel ski area don’t start with burning thighs and sore muscles, it’s worth giving your body a little prep now.
Here are a few simple exercises you can easily do at home – no equipment needed:

Plank: 3 minutes (1 minute straight, 1 minute left side, 1 minute right side)
Sit-ups: 3 × 20
Side twists: 3 × 20
Squats: 3 × 20 (only as deep as your knees allow)
Single-leg jump squats: 3 × 15
Push-ups: 3 × 20
Dips: 3 × 20

And don’t forget — train your arms!
Even at the start of the race, strong arms can give you that extra edge. :)

And if sore muscles do catch up with you — don’t worry.
Our wellness therapists know exactly how to loosen every muscle and help you start the next day full of renewed energy.
