Alpenrider is by far one of the best hostels I have stayed at. Paul will do anything to make sure you have a great time. The breakfast is greatest I've seen at a hostel by far and the activities around Kitzbuhel like mountain biking and snowboarding are very close to the hostel!

If you find yourself in the Kitzbuhel/Kirchberg area, stay in this hostel! You won't be disappointed!close

A seriously fun, warm and welcoming place to stay, just like arriving at a mates place. Always willing to give advice and make sure that you're sorted! Can't thank Chevy and the team enough. Loved it :)

My 5 nights at Alpenrider were a blast-the staff did absolutely everything they could to make it a fun and care-free week. The chalet was spotlessly clean, the breakfasts hearty and the the evening meals yummy! The airport pick-up was a real bonus; I would definitely return for some more apres...

What a laugh that past week has been! Shevy and all the crew there made us feel part of the gang from start to finish. More than happy to sort anything out for you so you maximise your skiing and partying! Buffet breakfast sorts you out for the days skiing and the hostel bar is a cracking way... more What a laugh that past week has been!

Buffet breakfast sorts you out for the days skiing and the hostel bar is a cracking way get the night going and socialise with all the gang and guests! Location is perfect for accessing Kitz ski region with ski bus round the corner from hostel and 5 minutes from nearest gondala! Shevy is also more than happy to pick you up if you wake up locked in one of the towns bars!close

Great staff in a very fun loving atmosphere. The bar was a fun place to be at night, everyone seemed to be happy to meet new people. The location is great, right by the bus stop to the lift. The only negative was that the rental equipment was fairly poor quality and priced about €10 too... more Great staff in a very fun loving atmosphere.

The staff are amazing - its run by an Aussie guy Shevy, and most of the staff are Aussies too. There is a little bar in the chalet too, which is rockin every night of the week - so dont come here unless you are prepared to party most of the time. If you go during ski season, you book a week, and incl in the price is breakfast, 4 evening meals and transfers from Salzburg and Vienna. You can also rent your ski gear from them at the chalet. They have guys who can take you out to show you the best runs etc. We may just go back for a third year!close

I would not recommend this hostel to the average hostel goer. Make sure you get a room key if you don't want to be disturbed at night. The raucous parties at the hostel seem fun at first, but often go too far and by the end of our stay we felt unsafe and had had some bad experiences.

The information about the name and location of the hostel was wrong, so it was quite difficult to find the place. It's name is not "Alpenrider Chalet", but "Haus Christian"; and the town is not Kitzbuhel, but Kirchberg.
