Tips

First ride up with Kitzsteinhorn cable car 

Recommended equipment

The more difficult stages of the route are safe-guarded with fixed ropes. (Be careful, the ground may still be covered with snow in places during spring).

Therefore, the path is usually only recommended from July!

Mountain experience is necessary!

Sturdy walking shoes, raincoats and gloves (for fixed ropes) are recommended.
