Like flying: The 3K K-onnection
The heart of the new, direct route to the Kitzsteinhorn is the 3K K-onnection. The three-cable continuously circulating gondola lift is considered to be the most modern cable car in the world. Almost silently and just as if they are flying, nature and mountain lovers glide towards the highest peaks in Austria. 32 designer cabins and two all-round glazed Explorer cabins guarantee a fantastic high-alpine 360-degree panorama and impressive views down into the Kaprun Valley, to Lake Klammsee and to Lake Zell.
Kitzsteinhorn EXPLORER TOUR
Accompanied by a national park ranger, four climate and vegetation zones will be crossed and a difference of 2,261 meters in altitude will be overcome. Along the cable car sections, visitors enjoy an eagle's perspective. The views from the all-round glazed Explorer cabins of the 3K K-onnection are particularly magnificent. In between, smaller tours are undertaken to explore fauna and flora in the respective climate zones.
The "Kitzsteinhorn EXPLORER TOUR" starts daily at 9.00 am at the Kaprun Center and can be combined with a "National Park Gallery Tour" in the afternoon, turning it into a whole, exciting nature experience day.
