Kitzbüheler Horn 1,996m

The Kitzbüheler Horn is situated right above the small but well-known Austrian ski resort village of Kitzbühel. The road winding up the Horn is said to be Austria's steepest climb for road bikers. A narrow paved runway leads seven kilometers up to the Alpenhaus at an elevation of 1,670m. Behind Alpenhaus a further very demanding steep way proceeds to the summit of the Horn at some 1,970m of altitude.

Departure: Kitzbühel 745m
Altitude difference: 1,237m
