will prove its pioneer spirit once again, at its
Gletscherjet 3 and 4:
faster and with more comfort
to the glacier
The Gletscherjet 3 combi-lift starts at the
Alpincenter. The 10 person cabins offer
optimal weather protection and the 8-seater
heated chairlift is perfect for repeat runs by all
winter athletes. Transit right through to the
Gletscherjet 4 is also possible with the cabins.
The Gletscherjet 4, a gondola lift with cabins
for 10 persons, floats high over the Schmiedingerkees glacier to the foot of the Kitzsteinhorn
summit - nearly 9,900 feet above sea level.
New structuring creates new
variants and possibilities on the
glacier
The new lift axis will substantially alter the
central skiing area of the glacier. It replaces the
Gratbahn; the Kitz- and Kees-drag lifts will be
combined into a double drag lift and the
Magnetköpfl lifts on the glacial plateau will be
newly placed. A new beginner´s lift, near the
Gletscherjet 3 and 4 middle station, will
further upgrade the glacier skiing area. The
glacial slopes will be wider and more open
with this new structuring, and even more
attractive for children and beginners.
New “Glacial Round Trip“
With the Gipfelwelt 3000 the Kitzsteinhorn
established an unique tourist attraction in the
Alps, in the shortest time. The impressive ride
up to 9,900 feet with the Gipfelbahn, and over
the highest cable car tower in the world, will
be enriched by another facet with the
Gletscherjet 3 and 4. A “Glacial Round Trip“
around the Gipfelwelt 3000, will be made
possible by the new lifts and the new “Barbara
Tunnel“ – which joins the top station of the
Gletscherjet 4 with the Gletscher Shuttle –
subsequently new summer and all year round
activities and adventures will follow.
