Kaprun Resort Guide


Resort Information

Situated within the boundaries of the Hohe Tauern National Park and set at the foot of the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier, Kaprun offers everything for the holidaymaker, including an attractive centre with lawns and fountains, a fine range of shops and cafés, plus outstanding leisure and sports facilities. A crystal-clear river runs through the village centre, and the 12th century Kapruner Burg fortress offers a variety of cultural events throughout the summer.


Walking

There are beautiful walks all around Kaprun with some of the most spectacular scenery you will find anywhere in Europe. This area offers a great variety of terrain with over 400 kms of marked trails, from the snow-capped peaks of the Kitzsteinhorn to the lovely lake walks at neighbouring Zell am See and the trail through the gorge at Sigmund-Thun. A definite must for all hikers is the superb ridge walk from the Maiskogel to the foot of the glacier, offering fantastic views of the Pinzgau. Summer lifts for walkers are open from mid-May to October (weekly lift pass available for Kaprun/Zell am See, approx. €62).
Guided Walks
NEW for 2008, the tourist office is organising a weekly programme of free guided walks exclusively for Crystal and our sister company. All you have to do to join one of the walks is sign up at the tourist office at least a day in advance. If you choose to stay at the Club Active Hohe Tauern or Abendruh your Crystal Active reps will also organise a free programme of guided walks and bike rides.


Activities

In addition to walking, a wealth of activities are on offer in and near Kaprun, ranging from adventurous activities to swimming at the superb 'Optimum' sports centre with its indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, solarium, outside whirlpool. This is also a fantastic area for mountain biking. Bikes can be pre-booked, and can be taken on the Maiskügel lift (to make it easier!). If you choose to stay at one of the Club Active units your Crystal Active reps will also organise accompanied bike rides during the week.
