Kaprun is open all year thanks to its glacier that reaches up to 3203m. The funicular railway has now been replaced by a new gondola system. There is a bottle-neck to get up the mountain from the base at Kaprun but once there, there seldom seems to be a long queue. Great off-piste to be had but most of the Kaprun mountain falls within the beginner-intermediate category. However, your pass will allow you to visit nearby Zell am See (5km away) which is bigger and has more advanced terrain. Off the slopes, Kaprun is a large sprawling place with a good mixture of traditional Austrian eating and newer cuisine and has a lively nightlife.

Resorts close to Kaprun include: Kaprun/Maiskogel (1 km), Piesendorf/Fun Mountain Nagelkoepfel (4 km), Zell am See (6 km), Saalbach Hinterglemm (16 km), Uttendorf/Weißsee (16 km),

Visitor Reviews of Kaprun


Rachel from United Kingdom writes:

Just returned from a week in Kaprun and we absolutely loved every minute of it. We have been to a few places in Austria and this was our favourite by far. We are snowboarders beginner/intermediate and the slopes were fantastic. The weather was perfect, lots of snow and more sunshine. For me (beginner) the Schmittenhohe (Schuttdorf 5 mins away) using the Areitbahn 1 to 1st station then the chair lift on the right was the perfect blue slope to improve my skills, while my partner could go off at times and ride the red and blue runs further up. Kaprun itself is the friendliest place we have been to in Austria, the locals can't do enough to help and make you feel very welcome. We loved the lively apres-ski bars in Kaprun at the bottom of the Maiskogel and the Pavilion in the centre, both with great atmosphere, lively crowds and friendly staff. We have decided to get married there next year as we fell in love with the place. Highly recommend Kaprun, a beautiful place with fabulous people and great slopes for beginners through to advanced.
