What shall I do today? Whether its climbing a mountain or recharging your batteries. You’re very lucky to have the opportunity.
The KRAFTalm is located high above the valley, in the heart of the Kitzbühel Alps. It feels so far removed from everyday life and is almost inaccessible.
That's almost true - you can't reach here by car.
But who needs four wheels when you can get here by cable car?
Just arrive.
KRAFTalm, 1.355m
Our KRAFTalm is located in the Tyrolean lowlands and belongs to municipality of a small village called Itter in the Holiday Region Hohe Salve. Wörgl (13km), Kufstein (22km) and Kitzbühel (30km) are our well-known neighbouring towns. From Munich, Salzburg and Innsbruck, we can be reached in a good hour's drive.
From there, our guests can either take the bus or the train station shuttle to the valley station of the Salvista gondola lift.
The three largest airports of Innsbruck, Salzburg and Munich are located just a short distance away from us. The airport shuttle comfortable takes you to the valley station of the Silvretta gondola lift. Here you take off again and in just a few minutes, you will float up to us at the Kraftalm in the new gondola lift.
The Inntal motorway A12 is behind you. From afar, the first mountains beckon, it's as if the Wilder Kaiser and the Kitzbühel Alps wanted to personally greet you. The well-signposted highway leads you in the direction of Itter “Salvista gondola lift”. The 10 person cable car was newly built in 2020 and is visible from afar. In front of it there is a spacious car parks for overnight and for day guests. For the cable car check-in, you can head to the ticket office of the valley station with your travel bags and the like. The suitable tickets are quickly found and the baggage drop off is well organised by the friendly cable car employees.
With a cable car pass and hand luggage you climb into the spacious Salvista gondola lift. In 8 minutes, you will taken up to the KRAFTalm from the valley station in Itter.After a little jerk, you will soon be floating over meadows and forest. From up above you have a very special panoramic view of the surrounding mountain world and the valley, which is becoming smaller by the second. The generous window front of the gondola cabin makes the scenery and the Alps seem close enough to touch. The soft hum of the cable and the melodic rattle as your pass over the lift supports has a meditative effect. By now you have arrived on holiday.
The short “flight” ends at the mid-station. Here it will say “please get out!” The KRAFTalm is located just above the gondola station. And because a real Alpine inn should also be climbed to, the last 70 metres to the hotel are on foot in the fresh mountain air. In just a few steps you have reached the spacious sun deck. Time to take a look around for the first time. Enjoy the wide-ranging view from the Hohe Salve to the Wilder Kaiser and the indescribable fresh mountain air at 1,355 metres.
A cheerful „Grias di!“ (hello) from Marion, the alpine farmer and the team will bring you back to reality. She organises the rest of the check-in. As you reach your room after enjoying a welcome drink and being inspired by the impressive Alps, you will be overwhelmed, not only by the warm welcome and the amazingly equipped quite, but will also find that your travel bags have made their way from the valley station directly to your room. Just arrive!
