Kitzbüheler Horn

Kitzbüheler Horn is a mountain summit in Tyrol, Austria, rising to approximately 2000 meters and attracting hikers and cyclists. The ascent follows a well-established route that winds through alpine terrain and provides different pathways for reaching the peak.

The mountain was opened as a route in the early twentieth century, originally to move cattle to alpine pastures and grazing lands. These farming paths were gradually transformed into the hiking and cycling trails that visitors use today.

The mountain huts scattered along the routes, such as Adlerhütte, serve as gathering places where visitors taste regional cooking and experience local traditions. People stop here to eat, drink, and chat while taking in views that define how locals connect with their alpine surroundings.

The cable car brings visitors to approximately 1600 meters, where most routes for the ascent begin. From this point, hikers and cyclists can choose between different trails based on their fitness level and available time.

The peak is crowned with a television tower that has shaped regional broadcasting for decades and often surprises hikers when they arrive at the top. Cyclists encounter seasonal restrictions on certain sections, a measure intended to protect the mountain from overuse.
