Etymology
The name "Kühtai" is derived from the Chutay (literally: cow alp), an alpine pasture farm first attested in 1288.
History
A road leading up to Kühtai was first completed in 1628, whereupon the alp farm was converted to a hunting castle/lodge. Holidaymakers first arrived in the eighteen-thirties, and towards the end of the nineteenth century, the hunting castle was converted to a hotel. After the end of the Second World War, Kühtai was developed into a winter sports resort.
