The ultimate launchpad for skiing on the mighty Kitzsteinhorn glacier, this lively mountain village attracts skiers of all levels to its snow blanketed slopes each year.
With access to the nearby glacial slopes of the Kitzsteinhorn, as well as the Schmittenhohe Mountain, located in neighbouring Zell am See, this popular area offers a wealth of vast and varied pistes to suit everyone. Beginners can hop on the Panorama Schaufelberg lift, which will whisk them away to a selection of blue and red runs, while the more skilled skiers can find all they need on the more challenging pistes of the Kitzsteinhorn, which reaches an eye-watering altitude of 3,203 metres. Kaprun is also a hugely popular destination for boarders thanks to its multitude of snow parks and halfpipes.
Blessed with an impressive backdrop of the awe-inspiring Kitzsteinhorn glacier, there’s certainly no dearth of jaw-dropping scenery in Kaprun. Nestled snuggly in the Salzach valley, the picturesque resort is peppered with traditional Austrian buildings, and you’ll find a great selection of restaurants and cafes throughout. Known for its family-friendly feel, warm atmosphere and traditional Austrian charm, the village is a wonderful choice for skiers and boarders of all ages.
Beyo there are plenty of things to see and do. Although quieter and more laidback than Zell Am See, the pretty village of Kaprun offers a fun après ski lifestyle. Quaint, rustic pubs, are in plentiful supply and you’ll also find a number of bars, where you can enjoy a more lively atmosphere. And if you fancy venturing further out, it’s only a 10-minute bus journey to Zell am See, where a number of vibrant bars and nightclubs are waiting for you.
It’s not just glacial slopes and après ski in Kaprun – the resort also offers a wide variety of post slope activities, including bowling, toboggan runs, and sleigh rides. For the ultimate relaxation experience, make sure you pay a visit to the Optimum Leisure Centre, situated in the centre of the resort, and spend a few hours of unadulterated bliss, in the indoor pool, solarium, and sauna.

Your Resort Managers
Lindsey Cairns
Welcome to Austria, my name is Lindsey and I am originally from Scotland but our home has been in Austria for many years now.I started to ski as soon as I could walk in the Highlands of Scotland, however in search of fairer weather skiing, I came to Austria when I was 18. My love of skiing in winter and cycling in summer means that I know Austria pretty well and I want you to love it just as much as I do. Our excellent team is here to ensure you enjoy your well earned ski holiday, so please let them know if you have any questions. Our aim is that you return home happy, so let us deal with anything that gets in the way of that, when you are in resort. Your Resort Managers are here to help, so pop along and see them, you never know what tidbit of information you might learn. I wish you a fantastic holiday and Viel Spass auf den Bergen (have fun on the mountains).
Shane Cusack
Hey there, my name is Shane and I'm delighted to welcome you to Zell am See & Kaprun. Being an adventure advocate, my love for skiing started at a young age and has since grown into one of my greatest passions. These resorts have so much to offer, from their breathtaking winter scenery, to the culture and warm hospitality that makes them feel like a home away from home. Whether you are the first on the lift to enjoy the fresh groomed snow, or prefer spending a well-deserved day at the spa, we want to make your trip as enjoyable as possible. From the moment you arrive in resort I will be there to offer help, support, guidance and useful tips. Viel Spaß!

Sue Katuszonek
Hi, my name is Susan and I am originally from Yorkshire. Austria is now my home and I have had the great privilege of living in the mountains for the last 14 years. Austria is a beautiful country with an amazing culture and there is nothing more special than a winter ski resort. I am so happy to be working for Topflight and Directski this season as your Resort Manager. I look forward to welcoming you all to the beautiful resorts of Kitzbühel,Niederau and Kirchberg and am here to make sure that you have the best time both on and off the slopes. Speaking of slopes, my favourite colour is blue and these are the slopes I stick to when I am not in a mountain restaurant enjoying a hot chocolate, Glühwein or apple strudel! I hope some of you will join me in this lovely tradition!
