We visited these lakes and it's really a must-see! From Kaprun you go up to the central point where everybody gathers and there you take the bus to the stauseen. It is gorgeous to see and there are a lot of hiking trails. You also have the possibility to picknick or eat there (there's also a toilet). You can go up to a viewpoint (there's sometimes a lot of people and they all want to take pictures so be patient). After a day of hiking and enjoying the views, you go back with the bus which will take you to the central point.

The Kitzsteinhorn is legendary: it`s not just a glacier – it`s THE glacier. Salzburg`s highest ski area offers an unparalleleld Alpine experience 365 days a year. It`s here that the winter season begins. Starting in autumn, you`ll already find the perfect snow for a perfect winter sports experience. Whether you`re racing down pristine white slopes or the spectacular off-piste ski routes or on your board in the snowparks, the variety of choices you`ll find is unmatched.

The Kitzsteinhorn cable car is a scenic 'must do' for anyone visiting Salzburgerland province of Austria. Located about 20 minutes from Kaprun, the cable car gives visitors an awe-inspiring trip to "Top of Salzburg at 3,029 metres" in three distinct legs - a gondola, then chairlift, finally a cable car. The views and scenery change throughout the journey, and you get to appreciate the truly amazing geography that has formed the Alps. The Gipfelwelt exhibition is located in a tunnel bored through the summit of the mountain, and it is an interesting display about the formation and geology of the Hohe Tauern mountains and glaciers. Caution here...at this altitude the air is thin and walking back up through the tunnel can suddenly leave you totally out of breath. The lifts are modern, competently operated and you feel completely safe as you're whisked up over cliffs, ravines, snowfields and people and animals passing by underneath.

Beautiful! The power of water is amazing. It's a nice stroll on the wooden path. You might get wet. Parking is tricky, there are more parking lots along the road. The entrance is a bit hidden.

10. Gipfelwelt 3000
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 341 reviews
High above, in 3.029 metres above sea level and directly at the border to the Hohe Tauern National Park, you can feel alpine nature with all your senses. An alpine experience, which is usually reserved for experienced alpinists on their mountain tours, turns into a leisurely excursion at the Kitzsteinhorn in 3.000 metres above sea level. Reached easily with the comfortable cable cars, the Gipfelwelt 3000 is a popular excursion destination all year round. The view from the viewing platforms "Top of Salzburg“ and "National Park Gallery“ is marvellous. The glaciated peaks of the Hohe Tauern National Park glisten in the sunshine and Austria's highest mountain, the Grossglockner, peeks at eye level through the clouds. Austria's mightiest mountains are at your fingertips here. You can experience the glacier close up on a summerly slide in the Ice Arena below the peak.

We arrived early thinking we would beat the rush, however I’d failed to realise we had gone on a national holiday, and the place was busy at 8.30am. We parked with ease as car park attendants were in place. We joined the line for tickets, about a 5 minute wait, then onto the cable car, again about 5 min wait. Then off up the mountain. The trip up in 3 parts, as it’s to high for one single cable car, so a couple of changes are need on the way up. Each time you get off a cable car, you have to join another line to get the next one. Once you reach the top most cable car house, most people head to the ski slopes, the Gipfelwelt visitors take one more trip, this time on a short funicular railway to the viewing platform. Once there, you can go up and outside to see the spectator views. They have provided a camera, which you can activate a 3 second timer to take a photo of you and your party (this is then download from the website, free of charge) the views are stunning and well worth the trip up. The temperature at the top was -4 degrees and much lower with the wind chill factor, so take a hat and gloves. The building had good heating, so you can pop inside to warm up as needed. A restaurant is also available at the viewing platform, although we didn’t use it, so can’t comment on that. Make sure you take the walk down the “Tunnel” we didn’t know what this was, so decided to go and investigate, its was a pretty steep walk in places, along a man made tunnel, at the other end is another viewing platform on the other side of the mountain, with equally impressive views, it didn’t appear that many people knew about it (although it is signposted) as it was basically empty, with only a few people there, we had it to ourselves for the most part. The trip down was much easier, as the skiers were still amusing themselves, very few people were going down the mountain, so walked straight onto cable cars without waiting. The whole experience from parking until driving away was around 3 hours. I thought the €43 euro entry was well worth it. If you are in the Zell am see region, a really good place to see nature in all its glory.
