Kitzbüheler Horn Transmitter

Kitzbüheler Horn Transmitter, Radio transmitter on Kitzbüheler Horn mountain, Austria

Kitzbüheler Horn Transmitter is a concrete broadcasting facility located on the mountain peak in Tyrol. The station operates from approximately 1964 meters elevation and serves radio and television transmission across the surrounding region.

The ORF tower entered service on 12 December 1969 after a difficult two-year construction period, preceded by lengthy negotiations with authorities and landowners. Before it was built, Hans Hinterholzer of Elektro Hinterholzer in Kitzbühel ran a converter carrying Austrian programmes for years, with outages in severe winter weather. The analogue channels ORF 1 and ORF 2 Tirol were switched off on 22 October 2007 for the move to DVB-T.

Before the tower existed, Hans Hinterholzer of Elektro Hinterholzer in Kitzbühel ran a converter relaying the Austrian programmes for years, but severe winter weather repeatedly caused outages. The ORF facility that replaced it began operating on 12 December 1969, and its summit position gives it a reach that extends beyond Tyrol. Since 2019 DAB+ has been broadcast in vertical polarisation.

The mountain location makes the facility visible from many points in the valley during clear weather. Visitors should note that access to the immediate surroundings may be limited due to active broadcasting operations.

Before the tower existed, local electrician Hans Hinterholzer ran a small "Umsetzer" relaying Austrian programmes for years; the harshest winter weather repeatedly knocked it out. The ORF facility that replaced it was commissioned on 12 December 1969 after two difficult years of construction, following lengthy negotiations with authorities and landowners. Its summit position gives it such reach that it can be received beyond Tyrol.
