The Streif is the world-famous downhill ski race that takes part annually on the Hahnenkamm mountain and has put the Austrian town of Kitzbühel on the map. In the summertime, when the snow, racers, and spectators have long departed, the Steif opens itself up to a whole new realm of possibilities. Hikers and runners can track the race in either direction, enjoying the surrounding forests, wildflower meadows, and views across the Kitzbühl Alps.
