"My first 3000-meter peak" summit tour

Rope-secured to the summit of Kitzsteinhorn
The Kitzsteinhorn is one of the best mountains for a first ascent of a 3,000-meter peak. You will meet your certified mountain guide at the Kitzsteinhorn valley station. Together, you will enjoy the panoramic cable car rides to the summit station at 3,029 meters. Here, you will receive your equipment as well as a brief introduction to the upcoming ascent. Then, you will head upwards, secured by a rope. Depending on the weather and your fitness level, it will take you about one to one and a half hours to reach the summit cross at 3,203 meters. Your efforts will be rewarded with a spectacular view: your gaze sweeps over the sea of peaks of the Hohe Tauern and, on clear days, extends down to the Zeller Basin. With good visibility, you can even see into the Bavarian Alpine foothills.
