Ski, bike and hike
Thanks to the 3K K-onnection the final gondola link will be made in the string of pearls rising all the way up to the Kitzsteinhorn. Now it's possible to ride directly from the town center of Kaprun (elev, 768m) via the Maiskogel and up to the TOP OF SALZBURG mountain terminal on the Kitzsteinhorn thanks to a 12 km-long string of pearls consisting of six gondola lifts. Which means, for the first time the Kitzsteinhorn will offer "ski-in-ski-out" convenience and put itself in the top league of Alpine ski areas.
Spectacular views
The Top of Salzburg viewing platform at 3,029 metres above sea level is located next to the top of the highest cable car in the Salzburg province. It is just a stone's throw from the "Nationalpark Gallery", Austria's highest cinema and mountain restaurant.
The new Gletscherjet 3 & 4 cable cars make the ride up to over 3,000 metres an experience in itself: 60 metres above the ground, those with a head for heights and a strong stomach can enjoy stunning views of the ski resort and the mountains of the Hohe Tauern National Park.
