Rising to an impressive 3,029 meters, Kitzsteinhorn stands as Austria's pioneering glacier ski resort, offering exceptional snow reliability from October through June.

Twenty four modern lifts, including the groundbreaking 3K K-onnection gondola, serve diverse terrain ranging from gentle learning slopes to the challenging Black Mamba with its 63% gradient. Kitzsteinhorn particularly excels in its freestyle offerings, featuring Austria's largest superpipe and five terrain parks, while its extensive Freeride XXL zones and marked backcountry routes attract advanced skiers seeking off-piste adventures.
