Kitzsteinhorn - X1 Ice Age

The first and highest freeride route at Kitzsteinhorn starts at 3,029 m altitude. Especially after fresh snow, you should be quick here, as the descent is very easily accessible. The somewhat more difficult drop-in, which should only be chosen under safe conditions and ridden individually, is located directly at the top station of the summit lift. If conditions or your own skill do not allow it, take the glacier shuttle down to 2,900 m altitude. From here, the drop-in is much easier and also safer. Ahead lies a wide field. Here the freerider has no limits. First, it goes a bit steeper over wide slopes that practically invite big mountain turns, and finally transitions into moderate slopes. Shortly before the target point it gets steeper again. On skier's right, after a short traverse section, there are several possibilities to drop small and medium rocks before reaching piste no. 2 after the last steep section. Now speed is needed to reach the valley station of the Sonnenkar lift.
