Linked terrain

The Hahnenkamm-to-Pass Thurn chain is genuinely lift-linked, but it hangs on the single 3S gondola and the far end is a long way from Kirchberg. The Kitzbüheler Horn sits apart, across town.

Calibrated reanalysis, 1950–2025. Bars are each winter's mean base, rules each decade's mean. 2020–2025 holds 6 winters, not ten. Every figure here averages a full season, so none of them will match the readings for your chosen weeks above.
