Gipfelwelt 3000 on the Kitzsteinhorn

• TOP OF SALZBURG, or Gipfelwelt 3000, is at the Kitzsteinhorn summit station, 3,029 metres above sea level.
• Cable cars provide access to the attraction.
• Two panorama platforms look towards the Hohe Tauern and Austria’s highest mountains.
• The National Park Gallery is a tunnel with six information stations about history, nature and technology.
• Cinema 3000 shows a film about the high-alpine environment, plants and wildlife.
• National park rangers lead guided discovery tours.

Gipfelwelt 3000 lies high above Kaprun, on the edge of Hohe Tauern National Park. Its core features are two different panorama platforms, which look out over the surrounding mountains and Austria’s highest peaks. A walk inside the mountain complements the views: the National Park Gallery follows a tunnel through the rock and provides information at six stations about the history, nature and technology of the Hohe Tauern. The excursion combines direct views of the landscape with a compact introduction to the area.

Cinema 3000 adds a film focused on the natural environment of the Kitzsteinhorn. It introduces the alpine plants, wildlife and surroundings before or after a visit to the platforms. Visitors who choose a guided tour can also explore the site with a national park ranger. Platforms, tunnel, film and ranger tour offer different ways to experience the landscape.

The summit station is at 3,029 metres and cable cars provide access. Gipfelwelt 3000 gives day visitors an impression of the altitude and the national park landscape. Above 3,000 metres, weather and visibility shape the visit. The air is thinner than in the valley; taking regular breaks can make it easier to explore the stations at a comfortable pace.

The attraction is part of the Kitzsteinhorn in the Zell am See–Kaprun area. Views, nature information and mountain technology are central. The ICE ARENA’s sliding area is designated for July and August. The combination of views, film and ranger tours places landscape interpretation alongside the mountain panorama, making Gipfelwelt 3000 one of the distinctive winter experiences of the region.
