Kaprun – an off-piste paradise for freeriders
If you ever looked back to your line on a pristine powder slope out of breath and surrounded by stirred-up powder snow at the end of a piste, then you know that this was the moment when you became addicted to the fascination of freeriding.
Thanks to the snow-reliable location in high altitude, the Kitzsteinhorn attracts freeriders to the glacier in early winter already. The five well-signposted routes are located near the lifts and offer diverse terrain features. From "Ice Age“ to "Jump Run“, freeriders of all ability levels find the ideal terrain for their perfect line.
"Safety first!“ – applies to all who are looking for the ultimate powder run away from the secured piste area. The Kitzsteinhorn provides an excellent info system.
The Freeride Info Base, centrally located at the Alpincenter, and the Info Points at the entry points of the five routes provide information about the risks in open terrain. Deep-snow skiers are trained for tours in open terrain in special freeride camps and on Freeride Monday, which takes place every week.
