The 1,998-meter-tall Kitzbüheler Horn to the northeast of Kitzbühel is another one of the best known of Austria's many mountain peaks. Summit highlights include the picturesque old house known as Gipfelhaus, a chapel, and a restaurant, all of them easily reached by cable car via the 1,273-meter Pletzeralm.
For the more adventurous, there's a spectacular four-hour climb to the top from Kitzbühel's town center, while those arriving by car in the warmer summer months may wish to take the spectacularly steep and windy 7.5-kilometer panoramic road to the Alpenhaus at the top of the mountain (open only during daylight hours, May to November).
