Early Bird Skiing

Even before the town in the valley wakes up and the soft blue of night still lies over Kitzbühel, an experience begins on the Kitzbüheler Horn that will get even the biggest morning grouches out of bed: early bird skiing.

The Hornbahn cable car sets off before sunrise and gently transports early risers to the summit. The light changes with every metre of altitude, the sun becomes
the sun becomes stronger and the yellow-golden rays cast the first shadows on the snow.
Experiencing the sunrise on the Kitzbüheler Horn is pure magic.
