Gletscherbahnen Kaprun JSC
By opening up Austria's first glacier ski resort over 50 years ago, the Gletscherbahnn Kaprun JSC has been a significant flagship enterprise ever since. Glacier, high-alpine nature and varied mountain experiences move and delight people on the Kitzsteinhorn during every season of the year.
Future generations will be able to enjoy our unique nature area only if we plan and act sustainably and responsily today. The balance between economic efficiency and environmental protection has to be maintained at all times, that's our motto.
