Kitzsteinhorn: Glacier Park opens tomorrow
Glacier Park makes the start
Starting on October 16 and if snow conditions allow, freestyle snowboarders and freeskiers enjoy a creative set-up at Glacier Park on the glacier plateau until January 2022. The multifaceted elements of Easy Kicker Line, Medium Kicker Line and the Jib Lines are ideal for training new tricks or improving your skills. The experienced shaper team guarantees the world-class quality of the “skatepark of snow” and the other snow parks at the Kitzsteinhorn.
The Kitzsteinhorn Superpipe is back!
The legendary Kitzsteinhorn Superpipe also returns this winter, and with it, the Superpipe Training Weeks! At this renowned training session, international top riders will prepare for the 2022 Winter Olympics from November 1 to 28, 2021. With Ali Zehetner, one of the world’s best-known shapers is responsible for the construction of the 150-metre-long and 6.50-metre-high superpipe. It will open for everyone in December.
More snow parks to follow in December
In the same month, more well-maintained snow parks will follow. They rank among the best in the world and satisfy riders with their varied set-ups. In the Easy Park, snowboarders and freeskiers can rip the first obstacles from December on. And when the Central Park opens in January and the South Central Park is added in February, you can ride up to 20 obstacles in one run in a row!
Freeride XXL: Kitzsteinhorn has a lot to offer off-piste
Powder fields, cliff jumps and natural pipes: Thanks to its snow-reliability due to the high altitude, the Kitzsteinhorn is a real highlight for freeriders. They love the five marked ski routes that provide deluxe backcountry fun: “Ice Age”, “Westside Story”, “Left Wing”, “Jump Run” and “Pipeline” please freeriders with varied terrain. Before they get started, they can get the latest information on the freeride routes, the weather, snow and avalanche conditions as well as equipment tips at the Freeride Info Base near the Alpincenter where they can also check their avalanche transceiver. Following the motto “Safety first!”, they will also find topographical maps with important information about the steepness of the slope, dangerous spots, and the most beautiful line at the Freeride Info Points. Workshops for beginners and advanced skiers are offered in cooperation with two ski schools on the “Freeride Mondays”.
