Golf in Kitzbühel looks back on an impressive history: it has been practised in the so-called city of the chamois since as early as 1955. It all started at the Kitzbühel Kaps golf club. 

Swimming
Discover Kitzbühel's large selection of aquatic recreational activities. Schwarzsee lake, located between Kitzbühel and Reith, is one of the most beautiful and warmest swimming lakes in the Alps. Thanks to its high mud content, this lake warms up quickly in the spring, thus making its soothing and relaxing effects easily accessible early on in the year. We also recommend Gieringer Weiher, another mud lake, the covered water park Aquarena and the swimming pool in the Jochberg woods.

Thanks to this major international event, Kitzbühel joined the ranks of large cities and Olympic Game host cities such as Sydney, Seoul, Madrid, London and Hamburg for the second time.
