The Kitzbüheler Horn (also spelt Kitzbühler Horn) is a mountain in the Kitzbühel Alps in Tyrol, Austria, whose western flank lies near the smart ski resort of Kitzbühel. With a height of 1,996m it only just misses being a 'two-thousander'.
At the summit is a 102m high TV tower belonging to the ORF and known as the Kitzbüheler Horn Transmission Tower (Sendeturm Kitzbüheler Horn). The Harschbichl (1,604m) is a sub-peak to the north which is also accessible.
An Alpine flower garden (Alpenblumengarten) has been laid out at a height of 1800m which, despite its name, has mountain plants from all over the world. The garden spans approximately 20,000 sq.m and features some 400 species from around the world.
The Horn offers incredible views of the Wilder Kaiser range, along with the Hahnenkamm on the other side of Kitzbühel.
Approach notes
The path between the top cable car station and the summit gets very thin in places. In one place in particular there is a steel rope anchored to the cliff wall and a vertical drop the other side where the path is only 2-3ft wide. To pass walkers heading the other way one of you will have to hold the rope and "hug" the other walker to trade places with them. This is not for walkers that do not cope with heights as there is no protection from the fall.
