The Hornbahn cable car is a convenient way to get directly to the Kitzbühel mountains. From the valley station in Kitzbühel, Hornbahn I first takes you to the middle station. From there, you can either take the second section of the gondola lift up to the mountain station at 1,664 metres above sea level or the Horn summit lift up to 1,966 metres above sea level. Once at the top, there is a fantastic view of the mountain world of the Kitzbühel Alps.

In just a few minutes, the Buchsteinwand 4-seater chairlift takes you directly up to the unique panoramic mountain in Pillerseetal. At the top, there is not only a marvellous view of the surrounding mountains but also well-maintained hiking trails and action-packed mountain bike routes.
