Athletes have pitted themselves against one another in many legendary races on foot and by bike on this demanding mountain route. After 7 km you get to Alpenhaus, the finish for lots of these races. For those of you who haven’t had enough yet, you ride or run further – up to the summit at an altitude of 1.996 m. You get back into the valley from both finish points with the Hornbahn Cable-Car (open from mid-May until the start of October).
Kitzbüheler Horn
Austria’s steepest cycling mountain. The climb up to the Kitzbüheler Horn is the steepest of its kind in Austria. The panoramic street is one of the most difficult sports mountain trails in the world. The extreme gradient of up to 22.3% in places, paired with the sundrenched location, make this an extraordinary climb. Although the length (7.5 km) and altitude difference (920 m) of the road to the Alpenhaus fall below those of the famous Tour-de-France mountains. Those succeeding in following the route all the way to the peak of the Kitzbüheler Horn will hardly find another road in the Alps comparable to the ‚Horn‘. 16 : :

How do you measure up against the stars? One of the most legendary mountain roads in the Alps has been home to a permanent time measurement feature since the Summer of 2009. The distance from the starting point at ‚Höglern‘ (791 m), just above the ‚Römerweg‘, to the Alpenhaus (1.670 m) can be completed in around 30 minutes by world class cyclists and runners. Amateur athletes will need at least 50 minutes. Why not take part in a (pretend) race with friends, acquaintances or the stars and enter the annual Kitzbüheler Horn rankings at the Alpenhaus.

The current Triathlon boom and the arrival of cyclists for the Tour of Austria race on the Kitzbüheler Horn have all played a part in this. Kitzbühel offers racing bikers 14 perfect training trails of all difficulty levels covering a total of 1.200 km. The Kitzbüheler Horn is the steepest mountain for cycling in Austria (22.3 %!).
The Schwarzsee lake is one of the most beautiful bathing lakes in the Alpine region. The lake contains peat, enabling it to heat up quickly in Spring and unfold its soothing health properties. The Gieringer Weiher moorland lake, the covered Aquarena water world and the Jochberg woodland swimming pool are also ideal for bathing. 28 : :
