The pictorially village of Kaprun is situated at the "doorway" to the National Park Hohe Tauern, directly at the foot of the impressive glacier skiing area Kitzsteinhorn.
But Kaprun isn't a dozy village, it is rather a especially holiday paradise!
Austrian tradition and an international flair will find here a "trust"!
A special attraction for holidaymakers from all over the world is the glacier skiing area at a height of 2,900 metres above sea level. This is where winter sports enthusiasts meet the best of conditions for unalloyed fun in the snow.
Even in the summertime, it is perfectly possible to use all the pistes which cover a distance of 40 kilometres. About 15 km of the fluffy snow are to be found on Maiskogel, the little brother of mighty Kitzsteinhorn. This family mountain with its gently ascending slopes constitutes ideal grounds for those who are taking their first 'steps' on the boards. Getting up to the peak is a piece of cake: the ski bus takes the guests directly to the lifts and cable cars.
