Mountain Festival In July At Kitzsteinhorn
Published : 29-May-2011 09:35
The Kitzsteinhorn Mountain above Kaprun, one of the five glacier ski areas in Austria where the 2010-11 ski season is still in full swing, has announced a big party in July.
The Mountain Festival on Sunday, 3rd July, will be, the resort says,
"A festival for the whole family at Salzburg's coolest mountain with everything free."
On the agenda are guided summit tour up to 3203 metres with a ranger from the local National
Park, an Ice Arena with sliding areas and a snow beach and the chance to ride in a piste basher over the summer snow. There'll be extra fun activities all day for kids who also receive free use of the lifts from the village to the glacier on the day - right up to age 18.
Adults pay 20 Euros for a return ticket on the day, or 29 Euros if they want to go skiing or boarding too.
Kaprun currently has a base of more than two metres (seven feet) on the glacier. Other Austrian glaciers still open with similar conditions include Dachstein, Kaunertal, Stubai and Tux.
Stubai had planned to close a week ago but will now stay open at least to mid-June, it says, because of the good conditions. Tux, which is the only glacier ski area besides Switzerland's Zermatt which tries to operate every day of the year, has the most terrain currently open with 45km of runs.
