Kitzsteinhorn Maiskogel - Kaprun
Located at the foot of the Kitzsteinhorn, the ski area Kaprun Kitzsteinhorn is one of Europe’s most famous. A real tourist magnet is the glacier ski area on an altitude of 2900 m. Skiers, snowboarders and carvers find perfect conditions here even during the summer. But Kaprun Kitzsteinhorn is not only a well known ski resort. There are lots of cultural highlights you can enjoy in the city of Kaprun with it’s long history and traditions. One must-see sight is the time-honoured castle of Kaprun. In 1975 the old masonry was totally overhauled. The castle was built in the 12th century and has been the set for many cultural events, even today. The Romanesque eastern tower “Turn ze Chaprunne” is a real eye catcher.

Inside Scoop

Reviews

It is gorgeous, I have skied all over the world and I must say this was wonderful, January 2015. The snow is great, reliable although can be icy when it hasn't snowed. No expert or advanced slopes though, wonderful for beginners and intermediates. The big issue is that there is no off-piste skiing in-bounds. The boundaries are not really marked and even if you are 5 meters from the piste you are in avalanche territory, not like North America so your runs are very limited.
