Kitzsteinhorn: Top of Salzburg

Kitzsteinhorn, towering at 3,203 meters, is more than just a mountain; it's an experience. Located in the High Tauern range, near Kaprun, Austria, it holds the distinction of being Austria's first glacier ski resort.Its history is marked by constant evolution, from its early days as a summer skiing destination to its current status as a year-round attraction. The first ascent was in 1828, and in 1965, the first cable car was constructed, opening up the slopes for glacier skiing. Today, visitors can ascend via a series of modern cable cars to reach Gipfelwelt 3000, where they can enjoy panoramic views from the 'Top of Salzburg' platform, explore the National Park Gallery, and even catch a film at Cinema 3000.Whether you're a seasoned skier seeking pristine slopes, a hiker eager to explore alpine trails, or simply a traveler wanting to soak in the stunning scenery, Kitzsteinhorn offers something for everyone. The mountain boasts diverse activities, including freeride routes, snowparks, and hiking trails. The Gipfelwelt 3000 provides cultural and natural insights, while the ICE ARENA offers a unique snow adventure in the summer. The Kitzsteinhorn is committed to sustainability and was the first Austrian cable car company to be ISO-certified for quality, safety and environmental management.
