Pristine deep-snow slopes, spring sunshine on the glacier and three-thousand-metre-high peaks covered in deep snow as far as the eye can see: the Kitzsteinhorn glacier ski resort promises the best of winter and is considered a real insider's tip among deep-snow skiers.
Discover the best powder downhill runs on the Kitzsteinhorn
The "Freeride Glacier Camp" from 1 to 4 February 2024 in Zell am See-Kaprun is aimed at all freeriders who don't like to go it alone or who want to improve their skills or broaden their horizon of experience. You will head into the high alpine terrain accompanied by two experienced, qualified, local ski guides of Freeride Experience. The locals know the best alternatives, such as the spectacular and relatively unknown downhill run to Niedernsill. The participants are divided into two groups so that everyone feels comfortable with their skills and can develop them further: Half a day of technique training as well as safety training are on the agenda on each of the three days.
Austria's best freerider Stefan Häusl shares his passion for the sport with you
The Kitzsteinhorn is the only glacier ski resort in SalzburgerLand and an absolute insider tip among freeriders. Five freeride routes guarantee brilliant powder downhill runs on the edge of the Hohe Tauern National Park: an absolutely outstanding experience!
In the evening, a diverse supporting programme awaits you with a hike by torchlight and wellness at the hotel. As a special highlight, freerider Stefan Häusl will give an insight into his passion for the mountains, snow and freeriding during his multimedia lecture "How freeriders think". The Salzburg native is Austria's most successful skier on the Freeride World Tour.
