My first 3000! The Kitzsteinhorn – 3,204 m

Never reached the magic 3000 m mark? Well i guess then its about time! The opportunity will never be better. The Kitzsteinhorn and its summit is very accessible through the cable cars and offers a very scenic view point. It allows you to stand on this pinnacle high above the basin of Zell am See and the white glaciers of Glockner region. The pictures gonna be mind blowing, and the memories even more so …!

What’s to be expected:

My first 3000 m Peak: We meet each other every wednesday from june to september at 9 am at the meeting point by arrangement. We go up to the summit platform, where you will receive a little introduction before we start our climb. Depending on condition and fitness, it takes us about 1-1.5 hours to do the 200 vertical meters that separate us from the summit cross. The descent takes another 45 minutes, about 4 hours in total.

Extra Loop: For more experienced climbers we offer the opportunity to add some excitement by traversing the top. Instead of going down the same way we came up, we could descend the north ridge. Exposed spots, icy sections and some rapells are waiting for you before we are back on a hiking trail that takes us back to Alpin Centre. This adds another 2 hours to our day, up to 7 hours in total.

What you get:

Full day of individual guiding by a certified IFMGA Mountain Guide, Rental of harness, helmet, ice axe and crampons, Amazing days out in the high alpine, Trip organization

Conditions:

• physical fitness to do 300 vertical meters per hour (ascent) necessary
• lift tickets are not included
• summer card owners (room in Zell am See Kaprun) have free usage of cable car
