This museum traces Kitzbühel’s heritage from its Bronze Age mining beginnings to the present day. The big emphasis is on winter sports, and the permanent collection pays tribute to home-grown legends including ski racing champ Toni Sailer and winter landscape painter Alfons Walde. Head up to the roof terrace for far-reaching views over the Altstadt to the peaks beyond.
