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.
Construction began in 1967 and took two years to complete, following extensive negotiations with regional authorities. The facility marked a turning point in bringing broadcast services to mountain communities in the area.
The transmitter changed the media accessibility in the region by providing television and radio programs to communities across the Tyrol area.
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.
The concrete structure lacks the typical cylindrical shaft found in conventional transmission towers. This design choice provided better integration into the alpine landscape and enhanced stability on the exposed mountain location.
