Ski holiday in summer on the Kitzsteinhorn

Skiing vacation from spring to autumn

In addition to the classic activities that the Kitzsteinhorn offers, such as the Gipfelwelt 3000 with the viewing platform and the bike trails, you can also go on ski holiday in summer. The glacier not only offers fantastic slope conditions in winter, but also perfect ski days in spring and autumn too. At 3000 meters, the glacier stretches across the massive plateau of the Kitzsteinhorn. Almost all year round, it offers fantastic piste conditions and open restaurants where you can take a break and enjoy great food and drink. Except for a short revision break in summer, the slopes are open almost all year round.

 

Rarely can you find such a contrasting summer holiday with skiing possibilities in Austria as in Zell am See-Kaprun. While you take your turns on the Kitzsteinhorn in the morning, head to the Zeller See for a cool down in the afternoon. Escape the warm valleys to over 3000 meters into the eternal ice.

With us (we rent apartments) you will find the most beautiful selection of vacation apartments and houses at the foot of the glacier Kitzsteinhorn.

Guaranteed snow for the start of the ski season in autumn

Thanks to “snowfarming”, sufficient snow can be stored on the glacier all year round. Snow depots are built at selected points and they can be up to 50 meters long and 5 meters high. They are then covered with flow. This protects the glacier from melting in the summer season and it is distributed to the lower-lying lifts at the start of the season, thus decreasing the amount of artificial snow required. Another aspect of “snow farming” is strategically placed snow fences and snow piles for.
