The Austrian went into Thursday's shortened race on the back of victory in the Downhill on Wednesday, and his near flawless run saw him finish 0.04 seconds ahead of Christof Innerhofer.
Norwegian Kjetil Jansrud had already wrapped up the season-long Super-G World Cup title, and finished down in sixth, with Kriechmayr 80 points behind and Aksel Lund Svindal third, a further 46 points back.
"It's been a very good season. I started it off with a victory and managed to get on the podium in most of the other races," Jansrud said. "But I'm very happy to have decided the result in Kvitfjell when I look at the results today."
Norwegian men have now won the Super-G title seven years in a row, and Jansrud admitted the feat is remarkable.
Seven times in a row is pretty insane. If there's a secret I'm not going to say what it is.
