Kaprun & Kitzsteinhorn

A glacier lesson that stayed with me

Snow Camps Europe, Andy Rose and a new understanding of what my skiing needed.

October 2024

I went to Kaprun and the Kitzsteinhorn with Andy Rose and Snow Camps Europe. My documentary remembers a choppy, windswept glacier and a coaching cue about using my core. It was another step between the early family holidays and instructor qualifications.

Episode 15

The podcast looks back at Kaprun, the Kitzsteinhorn and the Zell am See area. I loved the area, but that should not be stretched into a claim that I skied every mountain around Zell am See. The photographs here are from my Kitzsteinhorn collection.

A training trip, not just a holiday

This is one of the trips where coaching is central to the story. Conditions and terrain were part of the learning, rather than an inconvenience edited out of the account.

Before you book

Use the Kitzsteinhorn’s official information for operating lifts, current terrain and mountain access. A glacier name does not guarantee the conditions shown in an older photograph.
