Maiskogel: Frequently Asked Questions

Who should ski here?

Maiskogel is aimed at families, beginners and leisure skiers staying in Kaprun, since the gondola starts in the village centre at 768 m and the terrain is gentler than the glacier above.

Does it have its own lift pass?

No. Maiskogel shares the 61 km Kitzsteinhorn-Kaprun ticket with the glacier, and it is also included in the 140 km Zell am See-Kaprun area pass and the 408 km Ski ALPIN CARD.

How do you get from here to the glacier?

From the top of Maiskogel, the 3K K-onnection tri-cable gondola, in service since November 2019, continues to Langwied inside the Kitzsteinhorn ski area as part of the 12 km K-ONNECTION axis.

Is snow cover reliable?

Less so than on the glacier: Maiskogel starts at 768 m, so the full valley descent depends on mid-winter conditions, while the K-ONNECTION axis operates in the core winter season.

What is at the bottom station?

The base of Maiskogel is the Kaprun Center, which houses a sports shop and a ski depot, with regional and ski bus stops directly outside.
