The longing for mountains, snow and winter is great, because although the cold season hasn't really started yet, the pistes in Austria's glacier ski areas have already been stormed for weeks. The "Bergkrone" visited the Kitzsteinhorn (Salzburg), where numerous ski stars train alongside families. 

Ski racers such as Marcel Hirscher, World Cup snowboarders and Austria's national ski mountaineering team: some of the best winter sports athletes in the world have been meeting regularly on the Kitzsteinhorn, Austria's first glacier ski resort, since October.
