KA7 | Kitzsteinhorn-Uphill Mountainbike tour Bike Tour
Tour description
ATTENTION: From the Stangerbauer mountain restaurant onwards,
this path is closed; a section of the path (shown as x from the begging to the end on the map) is open from 10 April to 30 June. Alternatively,
keep left at the Stangerbauer and take the KA5 to the Saulochalm.
Road closures may vary at any time due to unforeseen events on
the construction site.
This tour starts at the Kaprun Center for the particularly ambitious. Up to the Gletscherjet 3/4 middle station, a challenging 2,179 m difference in altitude is conquered.
This bike route combines sporty and challenging climbs, many trail kilometres and a rewarding destination with the best views: The legendary route uphill to the Kitzsteinhorn attracts especially endurance uphill (E)- bikers. The start of this route, just like the tour uphill to the Maiskogel, is from the centre of Kaprun via Schaufelbergstraße in the direction of Jausenstation Unteraigen and mountain restaurant Stangerbauer refreshment stops. The route from there continues to the Maiskogelweg junction, then the trail marked KA7 leads to the Kitzsteinhorn, passing the upper terminus of the MK Maiskogelbahn. Rolling downhill along the Astenweg to the quaint Ederalm is a breeze, before the next climb follows. The tour leads via the Salzburger Hütte in sweeping serpentines uphill to the middle station Gletscherjet 3/4 at 2.617 metres above sea level, and right into high-alpine terrain.
