Overview
Salzburg Land
from above
Comfortably take the cable car up the mountain and get off at the summit station at the highest place to be in Salzburg – the Kitzsteinhorn, at 3,029 meters above sea level. The glacier ski area is the highest ski area in the state of Salzburg and offers permanently snow-covered peaks in winter and summer.
And what you can do there – so many activities, it’s almost difficult to decide. We have therefore summarized the absolute highlights for you.
The scenic gondola tour with the 3K K-ONNECTION
The world’s most modern cable car went into operation in December 2019. You now come directly from Kaprun (768 m) to the Kitzsteinhorn adventure world Top of Salzburg (3,029 m). The ultra-modern cable car offers 32 designer cabins. Once you get on, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Kaprun mountains for 12 km. Attention, only for those with a head for heights! If you are afraid of heights, it will certainly be exciting…
Kitzsteinhorn Explorer Tour
Don’t miss the brand new Kitzsteinhorn Explorer Tour. You start at nine o’clock with a national park ranger at the Kaprun Center. You’ll also experience four different climate and vegetation zones while climbing an incredible 2,261 meters in altitude! But no worries, of course you don’t have to walk the whole way, quite the opposite – there are separate explorer cabins for the cable car available for the tour. In these special cabins the view is even better than the standard cabins. At reception we will be happy to provide you with detailed information about the tour. By the way, you can easily buy the tickets online – ideally a week in advance.

Culinary delights on the glacier
There is also a lot of culinary delights on the glacier. You can easily eat the calories you burn on the slopes in one of the various mountain restaurants – how about a delicious Kaiserschmarrn? The Summit Restaurant (self-service) is the highest restaurant in Salzburg. The view from up there can’t be beat. At the Alpincenter you will find the Gletschermühle restaurant with traditional cuisine. If you prefer table service to self-service, then you’ve come to the right place. The Alpincenter restaurant (also self-service) is known as a market restaurant. Here you choose your food from various market stalls that offer international cuisine – street food feeling on the glacier! Only here in Salzburger Land.
Also discover the Ice Camp with 3 igloos from January to mid-April and try cool drinks.
