Visiting TOP OF SALZBURG requires no mountaineering skills whatsoever, for you will comfortably travel all the way from the valley to Salzburg’s highest-situated attraction on 3,029 meters via cable cars.

You have never been in a high-alpine setting before? Then just be sure to take a short break from time to time. The air up there is thinner than in the valley, you therefore might get out of breath quicker – though you should discover TOP OF SALZBURG tranquilly anyway to be able to soak up all the impressions to the fullest.

You have two options:

• From the Kaprun town center (Kitzsteinhornplatz 1a): You take the MK Maiskogelbahn at the Kaprun Center, ride up to the top station and change to the 3K K-onnection – one of world’s most modern and energy-efficient cable cars that gives spectacular views of the high-alpine landscape. From Langwied, the other cable cars will take you all the way up to TOP OF SALZBURG.
• From the Kaprun head of the valley (Kesselfallstrasse 60): You take the Gletscherjet 1 or Panoramabahn. From Langwied, the other cable cars will take you all the way up to TOP OF SALZBURG.

Please note: Both the MK Maiskogelbahn and the 3K K-onnection are not open all year round. Before your arrival, check the current Operation & opening hours »

• From the Kitzsteinhornplatz 1a: approx. 60–70 minutes (4 to 6 cable cars)
• From the Kesselfallstraße 60: approx. 50–60 minutes (3 to 5 cable cars)

We recommend to plan at least half a day for your trip to TOP OF SALZBURG. However, the Kitzsteinhorn offers things and spots to see and explore for a whole day.

Please note: The latest time you should start your journey from the valley is

• at 1:30 p.m. from the Kaprun town center (MK Maiskogelbahn, Kitzsteinhornplatz 1a)
• at 2 p.m. from the Kaprun head of the valley (Gletscherjet 1 / Panoramabahn, Kesselfallstrasse 60)

Depending on which cable car is operating, either at 3:30 or 4 p.m. (last valley rides). Current operating hours are posted on the information board on-site and available on kitzsteinhorn.at/opening-hours.

All TOP OF SALZBURG attractions are barrier-free.

However, the following is to be noted when it comes to arrival:

• When changing from one cable car to the other, snow may cover the path in winter and gravel in summer.
• If – at the Alpincenter – you don’t take the Gipfelbahn but the Gletscherjets 3 and 4, there are some steps up to the Gletschershuttle.
• In May and June as well as from approx. mid-Sept. to early Oct., instead of the Gletscherjet 2 gondola lift, the Langwiedbahn chairlift will be in operation due to maintenance work. Please ask our InfoService team about the exact and current hours of operation: +43 6547 8700, office@kitzsteinhorn.at
