Kitzsteinhorn Glacier Ski Resort (Kaprun)
Just a short drive from Zell am See, the Kitzsteinhorn glacier offers reliable snow conditions from autumn to early summer, making it Austria's first glacier ski area to open. Part of the Ski ALPIN CARD, it provides approximately 61 kilometers of pistes and 21 lifts, reaching altitudes up to 3,029 meters at the 'Top of Salzburg' panorama platform. It features extensive freeride terrain, several snowparks ('Glacier Park', 'Easy Park', 'Central Park', 'Kitzlift Park'), and diverse runs. The 'Gipfelwelt 3000' complex includes a cinema, a panoramic platform, and a restaurant. A free ski bus connects Zell am See to the Kitzsteinhorn base station. Ski season is exceptionally long, typically from October to early July. Prices are comparable to Schmittenhöhe.
