Nestled in the heart of the Austrian Alps, Kaprun is a picturesque village that offers a perfect mix of nature, adventure, and relaxation. One of its crown jewels is the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier, where visitors can enjoy snow sports nearly all year round. Take the scenic cable car ride up to the summit and experience breathtaking views from the Gipfelwelt 3000 viewing platform, or step inside the Ice Arena during the summer months for a unique alpine snow adventure.

Just a short drive away lies the stunning Sigmund Thun Gorge, a natural wonder shaped by glacial water over thousands of years. Wooden walkways lead you through a narrow canyon filled with rushing waterfalls and dramatic rock formations, ending at the peaceful Klammsee Lake – a great spot for a walk or a picnic.

For a mix of engineering marvel and natural beauty, the Kaprun High Mountain Reservoirs are a must-see. These two turquoise lakes, set high in the mountains, are accessible via a funicular and shuttle buses. Visitors can explore hiking trails, learn about hydropower, and take in the panoramic alpine scenery.

History buffs will enjoy a visit to Kaprun Castle, a medieval fortress that dates back to the 12th century. The castle hosts cultural events, exhibitions, and offers beautiful views of the valley below. Families will also love the Maiskogel Family Mountain, featuring gentle hiking paths, a petting zoo, and the thrilling Maisiflitzer alpine coaster.

After a day of adventure, unwind at the luxurious Tauern Spa – a modern wellness complex with thermal pools, saunas, and spa treatments, all set against the stunning mountain backdrop. Whether you're seeking high-alpine excitement or peaceful relaxation, Kaprun is a year-round destination that has something for everyone.
