Kirchberg in Tirol, Mountain municipality in Kitzbühel district, Austria
Kirchberg in Tirol is a small mountain community situated at 837 meters in the Kitzbühel Alps, positioned between Spertental and Brixental valleys. It lies near the Gaisberg peak and features the typical alpine landscape of steep hillsides, meadows, and forested slopes.
The settlement grew gradually over the 19th century from a small alpine village into an expanding community. This expansion continued into modern times as the region developed its role as both a residential area and a mountain destination.
The village celebrates its connection to nature through an annual summer flower festival that draws both locals and visitors to share local traditions. This event reflects how deeply the community values its mountain surroundings and seasonal rhythms.
The community offers four cross-country skiing tracks during winter months and hiking trails leading to mountain huts during summer. A lake in the area provides opportunities for swimming and rest during outdoor activities.
The Rennbahn Frangl racecourse hosts winter evening harness racing events, a tradition that gives the village a distinctive character. This unusual winter sport activity attracts equestrian enthusiasts and sets the place apart from typical alpine villages.
