3K K-onnection

With the 3K K-onnection, a cable car link has been established between Maiskogel and Kitzsteinhorn. The 3-cable circulating gondola lift from Doppelmayr completes the cable car axis from Kaprun all the way to the summit of the Kitzsteinhorn. The 3K K-onnection covers a total of 12 kilometers and 2,261 meters in elevation. On a ride with Salzburg’s first tricable gondola lift, nature lovers can 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 lift with cabins for 32 people each. The lift connects the mountain station of the MK Maiskogelbahn with the Langwied area on the Kitzsteinhorn. From there, you have access to the Gletscherjet 2 and the Langwiedbahn.

The 3-cable lift on the 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 feel harmonious, offering plenty of transparency and a pleasant sense of space. The modern, electromechanical door drive system provides 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, as the so-called “K-onnection,” the valley town of Kaprun with the summit of the Kitzsteinhorn. From the new Kaprun Center, you take the MK Maiskogelbahn up to the Maiskogel. There, the highlight 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 province of Salzburg—via Gletscherjet 2, Gletscherjet 3, Gletscherjet 4, and Gletscher Shuttle.
