The skiing areas around Kaprun and Zell am See are counted amongst the ones that lie in places with the best guarantee of snow in Austria.

The new cable-car MK and 3K brings you from the centre of Kaprun via the Maiskogel mountain to the 100% snow-reliable glacier Kitzsteinhorn.

Skiing can be enjoyed at the Kitzsteinhorn glacier throughout the year. Generally the ski lifts on the Kitzsteinhorn are open up to ten months a year. However the natural snow guarantee is not only valid for the glacier but also for other areas in and around Kaprun/Zell am See.

Even though the course of the glacier on the Kitzsteinhorn stretches down 2200 m and the lowest point lies at 800 m snow cannons are used on the lower regions to ensure the snow cover. On the Maiskogel, a particularly family-friendly ski area in the centre of Kaprun, there are 68 ha of tracks covered, when necessary, with artificial snow, and beautifully prepared just waiting for enterprising skiers and snowboarders. Here beginners and experts alike can find perfect conditions for a great skiing holiday in the Salzburger Land region.

At Hotel Sonnblick you find yourself staying in the centre of one of Austria’s regions with the best snow guarantee.
