Kitzbühel Alps, range of the Eastern Alps in western Austria extending for 40 mi (65 km) between the Ziller (west) and Saalach (east) rivers. The highest points in the range are the Kreuzjoch (8,392 ft [2,558 m]) in the west and the Gaisstein (7,753 ft) in the east. Overlooking the Pinzgau (valley of the Upper Salzach River) to the south, the mountains are divided into two sections by the Thurn Pass (4,180 ft), which is crossed by a road connecting the towns of Kitzbühel (north) and Mittersill (south). Many summer resorts and winter-sports centres lie in the region.
