Two new winter hiking trails

In addition to the ICE CAMP Trail, which starts at the Alpincenter and leads to the legendary ICE CAMP presented by Audi, the Kitzsteinhorn features two new winter hiking trails – one from Langwied at 1,976 m and the other from the Gletscherjet 4 top station at 2,926 m. Both lead to scenic viewing points.
