Kitzsteinhorn

Why go

The Kitzsteinhorn is a mountain with a glacier above Kaprun. Its cable cars are run by Gletscherbahnen Kaprun AG, whose pages describe the TOP OF SALZBURG (Gipfelwelt 3000) area at 3,029 metres, directly at the border of the Hohe Tauern National Park, with two panoramic platforms looking over the national park, a National Park Gallery tunnel with information stations and the Cinema 3000. The operator lists two ways up from Kaprun: from the town centre via the Maiskogelbahn and the 3K K-onnection, which it says are not open all year round, or from the head of the valley via the Gletscherjet 1 or the Panoramabahn. The TOP OF SALZBURG area is below the summit; this record is the mountain, whose pin is the summit, not the ski area or the lift stations. Wikidata places the Kitzsteinhorn in Kaprun and Uttendorf, not in Zell am See.
