Kitzsteinhorn Explorer Tour

How is glacier ice formed? Where do golden eagles and bearded vultures live? What survival strategies do edelweiss and saxifrage develop?

You'll learn all this and much more on this exciting tour. The guide for your expedition through four climate zones is an actual ranger from the Hohe Tauern National Park. Your journey begins in the temperate zone in Kaprun and leads via cable car panoramic rides and short exploration hikes over the taiga and tundra all the way up to the arctic glacier ice. Along the way, you'll experience a special highlight: the ride on the 3K K-onnection – one of world’s most modern and energy-efficient cable cars. From its special explorer cabins, you'll enjoy an unobstructed 360-degree view of the stunning high-alpine landscape all the way down to the Zell basin. At the end of the tour, you'll reach TOP OF SALZBURG – Salzburg's highest-situated attraction with two spectacular panoramic platforms, a mystical info tunnel, Austria's highest-situated cinema, and the Gipfel Restaurant with a 5* panorama.
