Jochberg & ski area
The village
Peace, space and real mountains
Jochberg lies just across the border from the Salzburgerland, in a valley between wooded mountains. The village is long and stretched out and has no real centre: farmhouses and chalets are scattered along the road from Kitzbühel to Pass Thurn, with the baroque village church as its landmark.
If you want big hotels and busy nightlife, Kitzbühel is the better choice. If you come for the mountains themselves, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for here: peace, space and a relaxed, authentically Austrian atmosphere. Still fancy an evening of après-ski? Kitzbühel and Kirchberg are close by.
Winter
Skiing in KitzSki
Jochberg is part of KitzSki, the ski area of Kitzbühel, Kirchberg, Jochberg and the Resterhöhe near Pass Thurn. Together they offer around 196 kilometres of slopes, from the world-famous Hahnenkamm to Pass Thurn. A modern 3S cable car links Jochberg directly to the slopes of Kitzbühel and Kirchberg.
So you can go on a ski safari all day: take the bus to Kitzbühel and ski back via lifts and runs to Jochberg and on to Pass Thurn.
- Beginners: practice slope and ski school in the village
- Advanced: red and black runs and beautiful routes through the forests
- Daredevils: the legendary Streif on the Hahnenkamm
- Off-piste: Pass Thurn is known for its freeride terrain
- Ski bus: your ski pass takes you to Kitzbühel and Kirchberg
