Kaprun has, like many Austrian holiday destinations, superb skiing in the winter but it also has one thing that it can guarantee even summer renters of Kaprun holiday apartments and that is...skiing! The glacier above the little town ensures snow all year round and so skiing is not just a winter sport in Kaprun.

The glacier is called Kitzsteinhorn and it is over 9000 feet above sea level. At these levels there is no need to worry about the snow reports; there is always snow. But families staying in one of Kaprun’s serviced apartments or aparthotels don’t have to worry that the slopes are too difficult for the little ones. Even at this elevation, there are runs to suit all levels of competence. There are even restaurants at the summit and at the end of a busy day, there is the cable car or Glacier Jet to get you back to your Kaprun serviced residence.

It isn’t all about skiing. From your Kaprun self-catered apartment or holiday let there are many things to do which are only a stone’s throw away. On the summit there are marked cross country skiing trails which are great fun for a change. Down in the valley or on the lower slopes you can hire poles for some Nordic walking. Some people mistakenly think that the poles are to speed you up but in fact their springiness improves the workout that the walk gives you, and in the clear Alpine air near your Kaprun short stay apartment, you will soon feel healthy and fit.

The Mooserboden dam and reservoir is an interesting place to visit and it is possible to arrange a guided tour. But even if you don’t take the opportunity of a stay in a Kaprun holiday rental to visit the hydroelectric power plant, you can still enjoy the water with a large number of waterborne sports, from gentle kayaking or pleasure boating to water skiing and fishing. You can fish from a boat or a jetty and the fish in the crystal waters are a challenging bunch; the cold waters mean that they are slow growing and rather cunning. Taking a couple of beautiful trout back to your Kaprun holiday let and grilling them fresh is a great way to end a perfect day.

The town of Kaprun itself is small. But since it is so beautifully situated in a lovely valley at the foot of a mighty glacier, your stay in any of the town’s holiday lets will mean that you will have more than enough to occupy your time.
