Why this Austrian mountain town is the perfect summer escape
Set amid the Tyrolean Alps between Salzburg and Innsbruck, Kitzbühel is mostly known as an exclusive winter resort, with 85 years of World Cup skiing. Yet this isn't a town to rest on its snow-covered laurels. Instead of shutting up shop at the sight of a blooming crocus, Kitzbühel shakes off the frost to begin a flowering of its own — as a warm-weather hotspot. With its astounding mountain hikes, pristine golf courses, and top tennis tournaments, here's how to enjoy its warm-weather pursuits.
Kitzbühel features more than 600 miles of extraordinary mountain hiking trails, from leisurely hour-long strolls around the still waters of Schwarzsee to tougher treks across the craggy peaks of Gebra to the south. Those seeking a mountain climb with an edge can use via ferratas (metal cables with rungs and ladders secured to the rock) to explore Kitzbühel's higher elevations. This includes the Kitzbüheler Horn, which offers panoramic views of the Kaiser, Lofer and Leogang mountains. Avid climbers flock to the region for its challenging routes, taking anywhere from one to six hours to ascend, as well as to traverse sheer rock faces and cross churning gorges whilst canyoning. Alternatively, visitors can switch to two wheels to tackle the bike trails — the longest being the Hahnenkamm Flow Trail stretching over four miles — or, soar high above the town thanks to year-round tandem paragliding, run by outfitters including Element3.
In a country with more than 25,000 bodies of water, it's no surprise Kitzbühel offers open-water swimming aplenty. Those seeking a crystalline pool to cool down in should head to Schwarzsee. It's the king of Kitzbühel's bathing lakes, where travellers can soak in deep mineral waters against a backdrop of forest-fringed Alpine beauty — and it's only a half-hour walk from town. Another popular swimming spot is Gieringer Weiher, located in the scenic Bichlach hiking and biking area. Meanwhile, the Jochberg swimming pool is a favourite with families, thanks to its waterslide and separate baby wading pool.
It's tee time all the time in Kitzbühel, with no fewer than four championship golf courses within a five-minute drive of town. Its two main golfing hotspots are Kitzbühel-Schwarzsee-Reith, an 18-hole course with curved terrain and majestic mountain panoramas, and Eichenheim Kitzbühel-Aurach, a scenic par-71 course featuring sheer rock faces and thick deciduous forests. The latter also has one of the area's most luxurious spa hotels, Grand Tirolia Hotel Kitzbühel. The town also has two nine-hole courses close to the city centre. This includes the par-70 Golfclub Kitzbühel, located on grounds of Kaps Castle, and the Red Bull Golf course at the Rasmushof Hotel, situated at the foot of the Hahnenkamm mountain. Venture further into Tyrol and you'll find several more exceptional golf courses. While they vary in length and difficulty, you're guaranteed lush fairways set amid epic Alpine landscapes.
While Kitzbühel's sprawling nature is a big draw, don't forgo exploring the town itself. Stroll its cobbled medieval streets to admire the architecture, including the ornate Hotel Goldener Greif, previously an old Tyrolean inn; the striking stained glass found in the 14th-century St Catherine's church; and the rococo chapel of Pfarrkirche St Andreas. Immerse yourself in local folklore at the Museum Kitzbühel, which takes visitors from the region's Bronze Age mining history to its iconic skiing offerings. Those in need of retail therapy should stop by the Kitz Galleria, a series of boutiques stocking luxury clothing, or tuck into kaiserschmarrn, sugary shredded pancakes found in cosy streetside cafes like Schatzi. To get a taste of Kitzbühel's fine dining scene, head to Tennerhof, an award-winning restaurant set within a Relais & Châteaux Alpine property of the same name. Or try one of Kitzbühel's two Michelin-starred restaurants: Les Deux serves modern French dishes, while Berggericht offers four or six-course set menus drawing on Tyrolean influences. Mocking das Wirtshaus, located at the foot of the challenging Streif downhill ski slope, has also received a Michelin Bib Gourmand award for its stellar Austrian cuisine.
Throughout the summer in Kitzbühel, there are plenty of seasonal events for travellers to experience. In terms of sports, the town is home to the Generali Open Kitzbühel tennis tournament, which takes place every July at the Kitzbühel tennis stadium at Kapserfeld, the largest of its kind in Austria. Meanwhile, at the tail end of the season in September, the region hosts the Kitzbüheler Cycling Marathon and Kitzbühel Triathlon. The summer months also bring together the dynamic sounds of Kitzbühel, with festivals including June's pop-heavy Schlagerbooom, July's opera-inclined Kitzbühel Klassik and August's rock-laden Kitzbühel Music Festival. Plus, on Thursdays evenings in July and August, the town comes together for food, drinks and live music at Pura Vida. In August, visitors can also hear traditional music at live performances across the town during the 'Jahrmarkt' festival, which marks its 99th annual celebration in 2025. Motorsports enthusiasts should consider visiting in June, when the town welcomes the thrilling vintage car rally, Kitzbüheler Alpenrallye, while the final weekend of August is reserved for the KITZ Kulinarik food festival — a delicious send off to Kitzbuhel's stacked festival season.

Where To Ski and What To Do at Grand Targhee
Wyoming's Teton Range gets a lot of hype, and rightfully so. As one of the cradles of North American alpine climbing, ski mountaineering and, more recently, mountain running, these jagged peaks hold significance in many a mountain traveler's heart. Most skiers think of Jackson Hole as the place to go skiing here, but ask any local where they've had the deepest days of their life, and they'll likely tell you it was at Grand sleepy mid-size resort, located on the west side of the Tetons, stands in stark contrast to the luxury vibe at Jackson Hole. Instead, it's still about the skiing here, with over 500 inches of annual snowfall, massive acreage and a huge variety of terrain and long, fall-line runs that somehow just don't get tracked out. The local vibe remains warm and welcoming, focusing on a no-frills approach to having a good time powder skiing. Perhaps the best part? The views. From the viewing deck on the summit of the Dreamcatcher lift, the high peaks of Grand Teton National Park feel like a stone's throw away. Location: Alta, Wyoming Acreage: 2602 skiable acres Vertical Drop: 2270 feet Number of Lifts: 6 Terrain Breakdown: 10% beginner, 45% intermediate, 30% advanced, 15% expert Most Difficult Terrain: Bobcat Average Annual Snowfall: 500+' To put it simply, Grand Targhee is one of the best places to go for skiing deep inbounds powder. Thanks to a favorable location on the snowy side of the range, the resort frequently receives huge amounts of snowfall. Like double-digit huge, many times a year. Time your trip with a storm like this, and you're in for some of the deepest turns of your life. Targhee's huge variety of terrain also plays nicely with deep snow. Sure, there are plenty of steeps, but most of the mountain offers wide-open lower-angle slopes, perfect for surfing through the deep stuff. Some favorite intermediate runs include dropping off the summit into Wild Willie and Crazy Horse, soaking in the views of the Tetons on Rolling Thunder, or carving down any of the groomers below the Blackfoot lift. If you're looking for more of a challenge, test your big-mountain skills on the North Face of Peaked Mountain. Drop into Bobcat (used annually as a freeride comp venue) and navigate mandatory airs, huge exposure and some seriously steep skiing, or go for a short hike up to Mary's Nipple and slash turns through the steep trees. If it hasn't snowed in a few days (a rare occurrence here) and the sun's out, Targhee is an excellent place to cruise down some perfectly manicured groomers. Thanks to the predominantly west-facing aspect, the groomers tend to get softer and better as the day progresses, meaning there's no need to get up early to chase a year-round destination, there are multiple lifetimes of things to do in the area. Surrounded by not one, but two national parks, plus a wilderness area and a national forest, the main attraction here is the mountains. Outside of the resort skiing in the winter, rent a fat bike or Nordic skis and cruise up Teton Canyon to soak in the views of the Tetons high above. The backcountry skiing in the area also happens to be world class, with easy access from Teton Canyon and Teton Pass. Both Driggs and Jackson offer numerous options for backcountry skiing guide services and gear rental. Finally, it might tickle your fancy to drive an hour north to West Yellowstone, rent snowmobiles and motor into Yellowstone National Park to view geysers and winter wildlife and take in the beauty of America's oldest National the summer, those same areas come alive with mountain bikers, hikers and flyfishing enthusiasts. Teton Valley is home to hundreds of miles of singletrack for all ability levels. The calm waters of the Teton River are a great place for a mellow float on a paddleboard, raft, or tube, or link up with a local flyfishing guide and see if the trout are being a world-class ski area should be worthy of enough praise on its own, Targhee really comes alive in the summer. Featuring one of the largest downhill mountain bike parks in the Mountain West, plus almost 50 miles of manicured XC trails, Targhee is a haven for mountain bikers, hosting races and bike festivals throughout the summer. If you're not a two-wheeled enthusiast, Targhee still has you covered with 8+ miles of hiking trails, plus plenty of events all summer long, including a Cirque Series running race and the world-famous Targhee Bluegrass to its high elevation and massive amounts of snowfall, Targhee's season starts earlier and ends later than most. If you're looking for a classic powder skiing experience, you'll most likely find that during the seemingly endless storm cycles that tend to bury the range in mid-February and early March. The 'Ghee is also a primo place for slushy spring skiing, so don't hesitate to come back again in April to score some late-season corn turns. Tucked away high on the western slope of the Teton Range on the Wyoming border, Grand Targhee is only accessible by driving through Idaho. If you're looking to stay as close as possible to the powder, the resort offers on-mountain lodging with some basic amenities like a spa, pool and hot tub. Though a bit dated, the base area lodging is in the process of a multi-year upgrade. Alternatively, there are a few small hotels and bed and breakfasts (plus plenty of vacation rental homes and AirBnBs) in Teton Valley. If you're looking for more options, the town of Jackson is about an hour's drive away and offers the full gamut of accommodations from five-star resort hotels to budget motels. Targhee is also one of the few resorts we've found that still offers parking lot camping options for skiers with camper vans or RVs. You can even rent an approved portable firepit to use in the parking lot for the full campfire is located a few miles from Alta, Wyoming, high above Teton Valley, Idaho. The closest major town is Driggs. You'll likely want a car to get around, but there are a few public bus lines and resort shuttles that connect the resort to the town of Jackson Hole and the Jackson Hole Airport. If you're staying in Jackson and take the GTR shuttle, you'll even get a discounted lift ticket. On-mountain dining is focused in the small base area, and the crown jewel is undoubtedly the bustling Trap Bar. Try out the local-favorite Wydaho Nachos, paired with a pint of local beer. If you're staying on the mountain and want to mix things up a bit with a fancier meal, don't skip out on the Powder Cache restaurant next door. Down the valley, Driggs has a much larger selection of excellent food, including the bakery and coffee at Wydaho Roasters, great pan-Asian fare at Teton Thai, or pub food at the Royal Wolf. Targhee is one of the few resorts where true powder skis make sense as a daily driver, so if you're coming to visit during a storm cycle, fat powder skis are certainly your friend. Temps can get pretty cold, especially during storms (shoutout to low-density powder), but the dry air and cold, dry snow tend to mean it doesn't actually feel that cold. Gore-Tex outerwear and an extra layer are always a good To Ski and What To Do at Grand Targhee first appeared on Powder on May 31, 2025

This Gorgeous River Canyon Has the Highest Concentration of Waterfalls in North America—and It's Just 10 Minutes From Portland
Appreciate the Columbia River Gorge's natural splendor while catching some wind and waves on the water, hiking to waterfalls, or cycling through rocky tunnels. Refresh yourself at a Nordic-style bathhouse before drifting off to dreamland in chic cabins at Bingen's Society Hotel. Have some of the best barbecue on the West Coast at Hood River's Grasslands Barbecue. Visit in spring to avoid the worst of the crowds, and see the landscape awash in seasonal wildflower blooms. Hang out in riverside towns like Hood River and Cascade Locks, where your post-hike beer comes with unbeatable views. For travelers heading to Portland, Oregon, the two-drop, 620-foot-tall Multnomah Falls in the nearby Columbia River Gorge is usually a must-see. But while the gorge is home to North America's greatest concentration of waterfalls, they're just a drop in the bucket of everything this river canyon has to offer. Stretching over 80 miles in length and reaching depths of up to 4,000 feet, the Columbia River Gorge—a designated National Scenic Area since 1986—is a geological wonder. Formed by volcanoes and carved by Ice Age floods, it's a land of contrasts, where rainforests and woodlands coexist alongside semi-arid grasslands and rugged bluffs. Framed by looming basalt cliffs, the Columbia River cuts through the landscape, marking the boundary between Oregon to the south and Washington to the north. 'The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area is the largest and most ecologically diverse scenic area in the nation,' says Krystyna Wolniakowski, the executive director of the Columbia River Gorge Commission, an organization that protects the National Scenic Area. As well as being an outdoorsmen's paradise thanks to its diversity of landscapes, gorge-goers will also find the area is a food haven, with farms, orchards, and an American Viticultural Area wine region that supports 'gorge-to-table' dining. Here's what you need to know before planning a trip to the Columbia River Gorge. The safari style glamping tents at Skamania Lodge. Surrounded by 175 acres of woodlands, the grand Skamania Lodge offers a choose-your-own-adventure style of stay with traditional lodge rooms, cabins, glamping tents, and elevated tree houses. After hiking in nearby Beacon Rock State Park or trying onsite activities like golf, the spa awaits with restorative massages or hot tub soaks before dinner. Located on a working farm and organic apple and pear orchard roughly eight miles from Hood River, Oregon, the five-bedroom, log cabin-style Sakura Ridge has everything you'll need for a romantic getaway: cozily-appointed rooms, soaking tubs, and dreamy views of Mount Hood. Start each day with a breakfast of seasonal, fresh-from-the-farm goodies, and enjoy additional culinary delights like bento boxes and chef-led private dinners. The boutique Society Hotel is set in an old schoolhouse and has the complete traveler accommodation toolkit: bunk rooms, private rooms, and cutesy cabins. Easy on the eyes with its sleek, Scandinavian-style design, the spa and bathhouse is a stand-out perk with a saltwater soaking pool, al-fresco hot pool, cedar sauna, and cold plunge. Open seasonally from late spring to late October, Under Canvas's newest property fully immerses you in the gorge's outdoor splendor with its stylish glamping tents. Glampers can enjoy views of Mount Hood from the site's hilltop perch near White Salmon, Washington, as well as on-site amenities like locally-sourced grub, nightly s'mores, and fun programming, like live music. Harvest your own fruit at the Hood River Fruit Loop. Experience Mt. Hood and the Gorge Chasing waterfalls here is a given, but there's so much more to see and do, outdoorsy or otherwise. 'We encourage people to recreate responsibly when visiting these fragile and beautiful ecosystems,' says a U.S. Forest Service spokesperson, reminding visitors to follow Leave No Trace principles and acquire any necessary permits. Adventure abounds here, both on land and in the water. Hiking is huge, with over 200 trails that delve deep into the woods to lush canyons like Eagle Creek, or head skyward on leg-busting routes with worth-the-pain vistas. 'My personal favorites are hiking up Dog Mountain … for the wildflower bonanza in May, and to Rowena Crest viewpoint,' says Wolniakowski. Cyclists can bike through cliffside tunnels and along car-free sections of Oregon's Historic Columbia River Highway and State Trail, and the gorge has watersports-lovers covered with kiteboarding, windsurfing, paddleboarding, whitewater rafting, and kayaking. The Columbia River and its tributaries have anglers firmly on the hook as renowned fishing spots. The spring salmon run brings over a million Chinook, sockeye, and coho, but there's plenty of year-round catches like walleye. If you're lucky, you may get a sturgeon on the line—these prehistoric 'living fossils' are the biggest fish in North America and reach up to 800 pounds. In the fall, head to the Bonneville Fish Hatchery to see spawning coho and Chinook. Okay, you can't find bananas here, but you can find apples, pears, cherries, blueberries, strawberries, and much more growing in abundance, thanks to the Hood River Valley's unique soil composition. Taste the bounty for yourself along the Hood River Fruit Loop, a collection of 32 farmstands, wineries, and eateries spread throughout the valley, and pluck your own seasonal goodies at "U-Pick" farms around the area. Grab a post-hike pint of craft beer or glass of gorge-grown wine; there are roughly 12 craft breweries and over 30 wineries to choose from, plus cideries and distilleries. Sip on high-altitude pinot gris paired with Mount Hood views at Loop de Loop Wines, watch windsurfers as you sample beers made with locally foraged botanicals at Ferment Brewing Company, or enjoy zero-proof cocktails and flights at Wilderton Aperitivo Co., the U.S.'s first non-alcoholic distillery and tasting room. Head to the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum to learn more about the area's human history, from ancestral Indigenous residents to Lewis and Clark's voyage. It's also worth making the 45-minute drive from Hood River to Mount Hood for summertime paddleboarding or wintertime skiing. A clear starry night taken in the Columbia River Gorge. Stay up late for stellar stargazing from lookouts like the Vista House at Crown Point, a popular waystop among motorists since the early 1900s, who come to bask in the gorge's grandeur. On rare occasions, the northern lights have made appearances. A plate of BBQ and sides from Grasslands BBQ. Experience Mt. Hood and the Gorge Kick off your trip at Sugarpine Drive-In in Troutdale, Oregon, at the gorge's western entrance. Housed in a refurbished 1920s gas station, pull up to the drive-through window to order sumptuous sundaes, simple soft-serves, or hearty soups and sandwiches like waffle-ironed grilled cheese with tomato soup. This Hood River barbecue truck is only open a couple of days a week, but it's worth planning your day around; the Texas-style barbecue is some of the best in the Pacific Northwest. Load up trays with oak-smoked brisket, hatch chile, cheddar sausages, and pulled pork, plus sides like mac and cheese. Go early, though—they sell out fast. Recognized by the James Beard Awards for its outstanding wine program, Hiyu Wine Farm's culinary events are among the Gorge's most coveted seatings. Experience 'sense of place' meals made with seasonal goods grown or foraged on the property, paired with boundary-pushing natural wines. Fuel up for a day of hikes, bike rides, or winery-hopping with breakfast at White Salmon Baking Company. Satisfy savory or sweet cravings with avocado toast or pastries, and grab a Reuben panini for the road. Leavened with wild yeast, the breads are divine, with rotating flavors and varieties. If you think fruit doesn't belong on pizza, this spot for wood-fired pies along the Hood River waterfront may convince you otherwise. Local pears complement blue cheese and caramelized onions, and cherries sing alongside chorizo sausage and goat cheese. For the pizza purists, there are plenty of other options, which also make full use of local ingredients like mushrooms and Columbia River salmon. Wildflower growing in Rowena Crest. Experience Mt. Hood and the Gorge The best time to visit the Columbia River Gorge is late spring through early fall to take full advantage of long, balmy summer days, perfect for being outdoors. At the height of summer, popular sites like Multnomah Falls can get crowded, especially on weekends, so plan your sightseeing accordingly. Springtime is a favorite of locals thanks to vibrant wildflower blooms like lupine and balsamroot, and autumn brings leaf-peeping in the forests and vineyards. Enjoying a boat ride along the Columbia River in Cascade Locks. Experience Mt. Hood and the Gorge With Portland and the Portland International Airport (PDX) being just a 10-minute drive away, the western entrance to the gorge is the best point of access. Traveling by car along Oregon's Highway 84 or Washington's State Route 14 is worth it for the views alone, and it takes about an hour to drive from Portland to Hood River or White Salmon at the gorge's eastern terminus. City view of Hood River from the water. Experience Mt. Hood and the Gorge Known as the windsurfing capital of the world, Hood River is also one of the gorge's main hubs for dining, shopping, and stays. After a Scandinavian breakfast at Broder Øst, spend the day cycling through the surrounding farmlands or riding the Mount Hood Railroad before winding down over beers and 'za at the Waterfront Park. Surrounded by wineries, hiking areas, and rivers with world-class whitewater rafting, Washington's White Salmon sits across the Columbia from Hood River. Even though the great outdoors calls very persistently here, be sure to spend time in town checking out its thriving art scene at galleries and workshops. Situated about halfway through the gorge, this tiny town is worth a stopover. Grab burgers and soft-serve at the retro Eastwind Drive-in, chow down on smoked salmon quesadillas and Columbia-caught fish at the Indigenous-owned Brigham Fish Market, and snap a picture on the Bridge of the Gods. People riding their bikes through The Dalles. Experience Mt. Hood and the Gorge Renting a car gives you the greatest ease of access, but there are ways to go without. The Columbia Gorge Express links Portland, Troutdale, Multnomah Falls, Cascade Locks, and Hood River on the Oregon side, with select Washington routes during spring and summer. Shuttle services like Sasquatch Shuttle also relieve congestion at popular sites like Multnomah Falls.

A 700-pound boulder pinned Alaska man face down in a glacier creek for 3 hours
Anchorage, Alaska AP — An Alaska man who was pinned face down in an icy creek by a 700-pound boulder for three hours survived the ordeal with only minor injuries, thanks in part to his wife's quick thinking and lots of luck. Kell Morris' wife held his head above water to prevent him from drowning while waiting for rescuers to arrive after Morris was pinned by the boulder, which crashed onto him during a hike near a remote glacier south of Anchorage. His second stroke of luck came when a sled dog tourism company that operates on the glacier overheard the 911 dispatch and offered up its helicopter to ferry rescuers to the scene, which was inaccessible to all-terrain vehicles. Once rescuers arrived, it took seven men and inflatable air bags to lift the boulder off as he drifted in and out of consciousness. Morris, 61, said he realizes he is probably the luckiest man alive. 'And luckier that I have such a great wife,' he said Thursday. His wife, Jo Roop, is a retired Alaska State Trooper. They moved to Seward, about 120 miles south of Anchorage, from Idaho last fall when she took a job with the local police department. Last Saturday, they wanted to avoid the big crowds that converge on the Kenai Peninsula community during holidays and decided to hike near Godwin Glacier on an isolated and undeveloped trail behind a state prison, Seward Fire Chief Clinton Crites said. Their trail was actually a rocky creek bed lined with large boulders deposited by the glacier. Morris said he noticed dangerous boulders, some weighing up to 1,000 pounds along the banks of the creek and avoided them the best he could, until he ran into an area he couldn't pass. 'I was coming back and everything, the whole side, slid out from under me,' he said. He said things became a blur as he tumbled down the embankment about 20 feet (6 meters), landing face down in the water. Then he immediately felt the boulder hit his back in what Crites described as 'basically an avalanche of boulders.' The way Morris landed, there were rocks under him, in between his legs and around him that caught the weight of the boulder, preventing him from being crushed, Crites said. But the massive rock still had him pinned, and Morris felt intense pain in his left leg and waited for his femur to snap. 'When it first happened, I was doubtful that there was going to be a good outcome,' Morris said. His wife tried to free him for about 30 minutes, putting rocks under the boulder and trying to roll it off him, before she left to find a cell signal. Amazingly, she only had to walk about 300 yards to connect with 911 and relied on her law enforcement experience to send exact GPS coordinates to dispatch. A volunteer at the neighboring Bear Creek Fire Department heard the call while working at the sled dog tourism operation and diverted the helicopter used to ferry tourists to the scene. Ultimately, firefighters who couldn't navigate their all-terrain vehicles over the boulder field jumped out of the helicopter. By this time, Morris was hypothermic from the cold water running off the glacier, Crites said, and his wife was holding his head out of the water. 'I think if we hadn't had that private helicopter assist us, it would have taken us at least another 45 minutes to get to him, and I'm not sure he had that much time,' Crites said. The firefighters used two air bags normally reserved to extract people from wrecked vehicles to slightly lift the boulder. 'But then it just became an all-hands brute force of 'one, two, three, push,'' Crites said. 'And seven guys were able to lift it enough to pull the victim out.' An Alaska National Guard helicopter lifted them out of the creek bed with a rescue basket. Morris spent two nights at the local hospital for observation but walked away unscathed. 'I fully anticipated a body recovery, not him walking away without a scratch on him,' Crites said. Morris, who is now reflecting on his ordeal at home, acknowledged it might have been a little wake-up call to stop doing things like this at his age. 'I was very lucky. God was looking out for me,' he said. When he and his wife go hiking this weekend, they are going to stick to established trails. 'We're going to stop the trailblazing,' he said.
