Best Runs in Kitzsteinhorn Maiskogel - Kaprun

Looking to carve some proper lines? Kitzsteinhorn's glacier terrain serves up some of Austria's most reliable snow, whilst the Maiskogel side offers brilliant tree runs when the weather turns. Here's where you'll want to point your tips:

• Magnetköpfl (Blue): A wide, cruisy glacier run that's perfect for building confidence at altitude with stunning views across the Hohe Tauern range.

• Maurergrat (Blue): This long sweeper down from the mid-station offers consistent pitch and enough width for practising carved turns without dodging crowds.

• Alpincenter (Red): A proper intermediate workout that tests your technique with varied terrain and a sustained vertical drop of around 500 metres.

• Kristallbahn (Red): This red from the glacier's top station delivers excellent snow quality and a good mix of medium-radius turns.

• Black Mamba (Black): Austria's steepest groomed piste at 63% gradient - it's a short but intense pitch that'll properly test your nerve and edge control.

• Eisbrecher (Red/Black): A challenging mogul run that forms naturally throughout the season, ideal for advanced skiers wanting to sharpen their bump technique.

• Maiskogel Familienabfahrt (Blue): A mellow, tree-lined cruise on the Maiskogel side that's brilliant for intermediates wanting scenic, sheltered skiing.

• Klammlabfahrt (Blue): Running through the trees down to Kaprun, this blue offers a proper sense of descent and stays skiable even when higher slopes are wind-affected.
