The ski area from Hollersbach
From Hollersbach you board the gondola that takes you straight into the mountains of the Kitzbühel Alps, on the quiet southern side of the area. The region offers 854 kilometres of pistes and 141 lifts in total, between 1039 and 2435 metres.
The slopes above Hollersbach are wide and relatively high, with beautiful views of the Hohe Tauern across the valley. From here you ski towards Kitzbühel and beyond; the return leg takes some planning, but those who know the area build wonderful day tours from Hollersbach.
Snow reliability at Hollersbach
The pistes above Hollersbach belong to the higher parts of the Kitzbühel Alps, in an area reaching 2435 metres. Recent winters measured up to 139 centimetres of snow, and 1 centimetre of fresh snow fell in the past week.
The southern edge of the area benefits from the altitude around Pass Thurn, so conditions here are often better than on the lower runs towards the Brixental. The valley itself sits around the 1039-metre base level; in December and March snow down below is not guaranteed, while up on the mountain it usually is.
The village itself
Hollersbach is a small, authentic village in the Oberpinzgau, with a centre around the church, a few inns and a herb-garden tradition the village is known for in summer. Tourist crowds are nowhere to be found.
Winter evenings are quiet: a few restaurants and hotel bars make up the offer. For more life you drive to nearby Mittersill or over the pass to Kitzbühel. Guests choose Hollersbach precisely for this combination: living in the quiet, skiing one of Austria's largest areas.
Who is Hollersbach for
Hollersbach suits winter guests who want a big ski area without staying in a busy tourist village: couples, families and small groups who value peace. The gondola at the doorstep keeps daily logistics simple.
Advanced skiers benefit most from the location, with the high southern side of the area as their daily starting point and 854 kilometres of pistes within reach. If après-ski and village life matter, Kirchberg or Kitzbühel are better bases. With prices from 595 euros per person, Hollersbach is also kindly priced for this region.
