Pension Bergheil, Kaprun

Buffet breakfast

Many Austrian hotels do not serve free tap water with meals.

Kaprun is an excellent choice for early and late-season skiing, thanks to the snow-sure slopes of the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier. Reaching the glacier is effortless via the K-onnection gondola, which links the village directly to the mountain. Wide, open blue runs are perfect for relaxed cruising, while the steeper red and black pistes lower down provide a rewarding challenge for more experienced skiers. Beginners are equally well catered for, with a dedicated nursery area conveniently located just a short distance from the resort centre.

Back in the village, you'll find a lively atmosphere with a great selection of bars, cafés and restaurants. For a unique après-ski experience, stop by the Ice Camp on the Kitzsteinhorn, where a collection of striking igloos houses an ice bar and lounge alongside a panoramic sun terrace with spectacular mountain views. Accommodation is equally varied, ranging from self-catering apartments to luxurious hotels with first-class facilities.

If relaxation is top of your agenda after a day on the slopes, spend some time at the Tauern Spa. With extensive sauna and steam room facilities, indoor and outdoor pools, plus a dedicated family area featuring waterslides and interactive water play, it's the perfect place to unwind whatever your age.
