Among other things, the "Top of Salzburg" panorama platform awaits you there. It offers you a unique view of the glaciated peaks of the Hohe Tauern. With a bit of luck, you may even see the Grossglockner, Austria's highest mountain, in the distance. The journey also takes you to the National Park Gallery, into the interior of the glacier, where you can learn exciting facts about the mountain, nature and technology.

You can comfortably reach the summit at over 3,000 metres above sea level by cable car. You can also hike on numerous clearly marked trails on the Kitzsteinhorn. Once you've reached your destination, it's time to relax: enjoy the glacier sun on the snow beach! Then nothing stands in the way of sliding fun in the ICE ARENA: here you can toboggan on snow in the middle of summer. If you don't want to miss out on skiing in summer, the Kitzsteinhorn glacier is also the right place for you. The ski resort is - depending on the snow conditions - also open until early summer.
