Kitzbühel November 2026 Weather Guide
“Cool and moody. Best paired with warm rooms and long lunches.”
Roughly 12 rainy days across the month, on average.
November lands Kitzbühel in genuine off-season quiet with highs at 9.5°C (49°F), nights just below freezing at -0.8°C (31°F), 98mm precipitation across 11.7 days (mixing rain and early snow), and 6 hours of sunshine. Many hotels close mid-November for renovation before December's ski opening. Village atmosphere becomes deeply local, with beer gardens shuttering and Christmas market preparation underway.
Martinitag on 11 November brings Martinigans goose feasts to every Wirtshaus. Ski-station preparation includes snow-cannon testing and lift maintenance across KitzSki terrain. Bau-Openings offering discounted early-season ski-passes appear late November. Krampusnächte tradition brings horned-devil parades to Kitzbühel and Kirchberg starting 25 November. Adventskranz-Weihe candle-wreath blessings launch the four-Sunday Advent countdown.
Weather analysis across 11 complete years from 2015 to 2025 shows November highs from 7.2°C to 12.4°C, with 2019 exceptionally warm. Precipitation ranged 65mm to 156mm, and 2022 delivered the wettest. Snow-season opening dates varied from 22 November (2018) to 8 December (2015).
