Kaprun summary

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 The funicular railway has now been replaced by a new gondola system.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 Zel am Zee (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: Zell am See (5 km), Saalfelden (15 km), Leogang (16 km), Saalbach Hinterglemm (16 km), Rauris (17 km),

Visitor Reviews of Kaprun

Derek Housley from AUSTRIA writes:

Skied there last year and found that it was an ideal resort, with a good mix of slopes for beginners, intermediates and expert. The three ski areas of i)Kitzsteinhorn with the glacier skiing above Kaprun, ii)The Maisikogel where you can ski down into the centre of Kaprun, iii) The Schmittenhohe above Zell am See with fantastic views over the lake at Zell and beyond.
There is further skiing in Sallbach and Hinterglemm in the next valley along, and the Gastein Valley is only half a hour away by car.
Good and short transfer links of just over 1 hour, and indeed the icing on the cake.
