  • Freedom on the Kitzsteinhorn at 3000 Meters
    PRESS INFO – WINTER 2020/21 Freedom on the Kitzsteinhorn at 3000 meters Winter sports fans & excursion guests are treated to extraordinary nature and extraordinarily enjoyable sporting experiences on the Kitzsteinhorn in the Zell am See-Kaprun Region. On the edge of Hohe Tauern National Park, Salzburg’s only glacier ski area is a unique location in the Eastern Alps. In addition to virtually endless opportunities for winter sports, the glacier – including TOP OF SALZBURG/Gipfelwelt 3000 – is home to a high-alpine excursion destination that is open year-round. The K-ONNECTION provides a direct link from the town center of Kaprun and the Maiskogel Family Ski Area to the Kitzsteinhorn, for ultimate Ski-in Ski-out convenience to and from the glacier and never-before-seen perspectives of the surrounding mountain world. K-onnected: Kaprun – Maiskogel – Kitzsteinhorn The K-ONNECTION lift link unites the town center of Kaprun and the popular Maiskogel Family Ski Area with the Kitzsteinhorn. For winter sports fans and excursion guests, this means significantly shorter distances, Ski-in Ski- out between Kaprun and the glacier, and the total convenience of the Kaprun Center with valley station, ticket windows, ski depot and a sports shop. Each section of this ultra-modern cableway reveals unique perspectives and fascinating insights into the pristine, high-alpine winter landscapes. Traveling a total distance of twelve kilometers from the valley station up to TOP OF SALZBURG at 3029 m, you will rise a total of 2261 vertical meters and traverse four different climate zones. For winter sports lovers staying in Kaprun, this represents a convenient alternative rather than having to ride up from the Kaprun valley head.

Surface and subsurface thermal conditions in steep rock faces are monitored based on a combination of borehole, geophysical and meteorological measurements. MOREXPERT was launched in September 2010, the study area is located at the Kitzsteinhorn (3.203 m; 47°11’17’’ N, 12°41’15’’ E), Hohe Tauern Range, Austria. Within the research project ground thermal conditions are monitored on three complementary scale levels: the ‘borehole scale’, the ‘slope scale’ and the ‘mountain scale’. At each scale level ground thermal conditions are studied applying different methodical approaches and, therefore, with different spatial and temporal resolutions. At the ‘borehole scale’ five deep boreholes provide ground temperatures from
