Kirchbichl has several sides to it: a listed parish church stands in the town centre, while Grattenbergl, south of the town, is home to archaeological heritage dating back to the Hallstatt period. There is also the Moorstrandbad, the Inn Cycle Path and a number of events. When choosing your accommodation, you can therefore decide whether local history, cycling or a specific event date will shape your stay.
Parish Church and Grattenbergl
The parish church of Kirchbichl stands in the town centre and is the town’s landmark, visible from far away. It is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and is a listed building. The present parish church dates from the 14th century and was renovated by Jakob Singer in 1735. These two building phases are distinct in the history of the town: its medieval origins and its renovation in the 18th century.
Grattenbergl, a rocky outcrop that rises above its surroundings, lies south of Kirchbichl. It was the site of North Tyrol’s largest fortified settlement from the Hallstatt period. Together with the parish church, Grattenbergl opens up a different historical time horizon: the Hallstatt period long predates the church’s medieval origins.
The Inn and the Inn Cycle Path
Kirchbichl lies right on the River Inn. From Kirchbichl, the Inn Cycle Path is flat and fully paved along the stretch to Kufstein and onward to Erl. This gives you both the route profile and two destinations to plan around: you can include the stretch to Kufstein or the continuation to Erl in your stay. This specific cycling stage adds a different focus to the historic sites.
Moorstrandbad Kirchbichl
Moorstrandbad Kirchbichl was built in 1933/1934 and is one of Tyrol’s oldest outdoor swimming pools. The facility has a restaurant, a kiosk, a beach volleyball court, a tennis complex and a children’s playground. This brings dining options, sports facilities and play areas together in one place. For planning your stay, it offers a different focus from the parish church and Grattenbergl: the pool complements the historic sites with leisure activities.
Events in Kirchbichl
The 24th Kirchbichl Advent celebration will take place on Sunday, 13 December 2026, from 14:00. The programme includes Christmas music in the parish church, a traditional handicrafts market and a Christ Child workshop for children. The event thus combines music, crafts and an activity for children. Check the date and schedule again before your trip.
The Kirchbichl Triathlon has been held in the Hohe Salve region for more than 40 years. The 2026 edition took place on 30 May. Its programme included swimming, cycling and running. The sprint distance featured around 750 metres of swimming, about 20 kilometres of cycling and 5.2 kilometres of running. The Olympic distance comprised about 1.4 kilometres of swimming, 40 kilometres of cycling and 10.4 kilometres of running. There was also a Kids Aquathlon for children and a TRIWomen Aquathlon for women with little previous training experience. The two aquathlons complemented the race distances with dedicated formats for these groups.
Bus connection to SkiWelt
Route 760 connects Kirchbichl with the Salvistabahn in Itter, which is part of SkiWelt. Check the timetable before your trip, as the regional service is scheduled seasonally.
