3K K-onnection (YOC 2019)

Circulating ropeway/gondola lift at the ski resort Kitzsteinhorn/​Maiskogel – Kaprun

3K K-onnection 1/14

3K K-onnection

With the 3K K-onnection, a cable car link was created between Maiskogel and Kitzsteinhorn. The 3-cable circulating gondola from Doppelmayr completes the cable car axis from Kaprun to the summit of the Kitzsteinhorn. The 3K K-onnection covers a total of 12 kilometers and 2,261 meters of elevation. On the ride with Salzburg’s first tricable gondola, nature lovers enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding high alpine mountains all the way down to the Zell Basin.

The 3K K-onnection is a tricable gondola with cabins for 32 people each. The facility connects the mountain station of the MK Maiskogelbahn with the Langwied area on the Kitzsteinhorn. There, you can transfer to the Gletscherjet 2 and the Langwiedbahn.

The 3-cable gondola at Kitzsteinhorn is the first lift system to be equipped with the newly developed ATRIA cabins from CWA. These new 3S cabins impress with a consistent design language of rounded shapes, clean lines, and a coherent overall appearance. The cabins have a harmonious look, offer plenty of transparency, and provide a pleasant sense of space. The modern electromechanical door drive system enables audiovisual signals when opening and closing for greater comfort and safety.

A total of six cable cars with around 12 km of total length connect the valley village of Kaprun with the summit of the Kitzsteinhorn as the so-called “K-onnection.” From the new Kaprun Center, you take the MK Maiskogelbahn up to the Maiskogel. There, the centerpiece of the new connection awaits: the spectacular 3K K-onnection, over 4 kilometers long. Once you arrive in Langwied, you continue comfortably to the summit at 3,029 m—the highest point in the Salzburger Land—via the Gletscherjet 2, Gletscherjet 3, Gletscherjet 4, and Gletscher Shuttle.
