Hiking in summer, skiing in winter – that’s how Kitzbühel is known. But even in autumn, when the leaves turn bright red and orange, the air becomes fresher and the mountains are bathed in golden light, Kitzbühel in Tyrol shows off a particularly atmospheric side. Between active nature experiences such as hiking or cycling and quiet moments of relaxation, the region offers everything you need for an enjoyable autumn holiday. The perfect retreat after an eventful day in the mountains is the ERIKA boutique hotel with a regenerating spa, cozy rooms and suites and a crackling fireplace in the Greenhouse Bar.
I spent a weekend in this special house from 1897.

Hotel impressions
The casual, contemporary interior impresses with color accents in aubergine, dark green and gray, which give the individual rooms and suites a stylish atmosphere. In summer and autumn, the spacious terrace offers a breathtaking view of the Tyrolean mountain panorama and the blooming garden, while the RIKS restaurant spoils you with culinary delights. In the GREENHOUSE Bar, the crackling fireplace ensures alpine cosiness.
The hotel’s location is ideal: the Hahnenkamm is right on the doorstep for ski enthusiasts, while the picturesque town center of Kitzbühel with its elegant boutiques and the charming Christmas market is just a few steps away. Two saunas and two indoor pools in the spa area invite you to relax, complemented by selected treatments with Austrian natural cosmetic products.
I stayed in a beautiful suite with a balcony. The Erika Boutique Hotel has received several awards for its excellent quality and outstanding service. The awards reflect the high standards – from luxurious furnishings to first-class cuisine and exclusive hospitality.

I’m going to South Tyrol soon for more autumn impressions. I’m looking forward to the mountains, long walks and short hikes. What shouldn’t be missing is relaxation and South Tyrolean enjoyment!
Autumn is like a pause button for life: slower, quieter, more real. He invites us to take a breath – and realize how far we have come. When leaves fall, the old things also fall away from us. New energy, new clarity. The time of letting go and change.
I hope you enjoyed my new hotel tip in Kitzbühel as much as I did, thank you for reading,
