15 Days until the Kaprun 3K K-onnection opens
There's new lifts and there's new lifts, and this 12km feat of engineering should turn Kaprun into a major destination, linking Kaprun village to the Glacier via Maiskogel
On the 30th of November 2019 the 3K K-onnection will go into operation. Running from the town center of Kaprun (768 m) via the Maiskogel. This 12 km scenic ride will not only be the longest continuous gondola axis, it will also rise the greatest elevation (2261 vertical meters) in the Eastern Alps.
The 10-passenger mono-cable gondola is able to transport as many as 2800 people per hour to the top of this family mountain in just 12 minutes. This also offers an ideal connection to the area used by beginners and the ski schools next to the Stanger mid-station, while the option to ride back down to the valley means that skiing operations can begin earlier and continue longer.
