Eagle's Stage Ahorn in Winter

MOUNTOPOLIS INSTEAD OF HOLLYWOOD. Visitors don’t need to wear a tuxedo or fancy ballgown to attend the sky gala at Eagle’s Stage on Mount Ahorn. Sturdy shoes and comfortable walking clothes will suffice. The Ahornbahn, Austria's largest cable car, whisks visitors quickly and comfortably up the mountain to Europe's highest Bird of Prey Sanctuary at 2,000 metres above sea level. Since 2009, the “kings of the skies” feel very much at home here amidst the spectacular panorama of the Zillertal Alps, as their quarters are built entirely from wood, stone and earth and blend in perfectly with the natural surroundings. The three passionate falconers, Waltraud, Didi and Thomas Wechselberger, know just how to direct eagle "Steppi", the falcons "Kaya & Diana", the eagle owls "Billi, Virginia & Alaska" and the hawks "Ashok, Laika & Lanny" during their exciting show.
