Kitzbüheler Horn — Attraction in Kitzbühel

The Kitzbüheler Horn (also spelt Kitzbühler Horn) is one of the most important mountains in the Kitzbühel Alps in Tyrol, Austria, whose eastern flank lies near the smart ski resort of Kitzbühel. With a height of 1,996 m (AA) it only just misses being a 'two-thousander'. At the summit is a 102 metre high TV tower belonging to the ORF and known as the Kitzbüheler Horn Transmission Tower (Sendeturm Kitzbüheler Horn). The Harschbichl (1,604 m) is a sub-peak to the north which is also accessible. The mountain has several cable cars and gondola lifts and there is a panoramic toll road from Kitzbühel. There are also several mountain inns on its slopes. The so-called Alpenhaus (1,670 m (AA), 47°28′01″N 12°25′45″E) was in recent years the finish of the King Stage (Königsetappe) of the Tour of Austria cycle race. An Alpine flower garden (Alpenblumengarten) has been laid out at a height of 1800 m which, despite its name, has mountain plants from all over the world. Every year in August the International Kitzbühler Horn Race takes place. The route runs along the 7.4 km long toll road to the Alpenhaus. Its maximum incline in the closing stages is 22.4%. The record time to the Alpenhaus is held by Beat Bräu who completed the race in a time of 29:11 minutes. Numerous lifts have been built to support winter sports in the ski region of the same name. On the side facing St. Johann there is a mountain cart route. There is a small mountain lake level with the half-way station on the cable car from the village. Both peaks are heavily frequented, not just by hikers, but also by mountain bikers due to...

Located at an altitude of 1,998 meters, Kitzbuheler Horn in the Tyrol region is one of the most beautiful peaks of the mountains in Austria. This peak can be accessed via a cableway through Pletzeralm or you can climb from the Kitzbuhel countryside. The peak has a very beautiful view. South of Kitzbuheler there is a 1,772-meter Hornkopfli peak which can also be reached by a cableway.

In addition to the beautiful scenery, at its peak we will find Gipfelhaus, a unique mountain peak house, with a chapel, a restaurant, and an Alpine garden. During the ski season, the mountains are full of skiers from all...

There are many ways to the top. As a hiker my favourite is to start from the south end of Kitzbühel, climb up by Hagstein, Adlerhütte, then to the summit. Enjoy a beer while you take in the views of Hahnenkamm and the Wilder Kaiser. Then make your way down the north side to Harschbichl. If you still have the energy keep going to St. Johann. If not, take the cable car. Then go to the train station and back to Kitz. If time permits and you have a large appetite (you will) have dinner at the Hubertbräu...
