Summer Holidays in Austria - Kaprun, Salzburgerland

Kaprun holidays offer one of Austria's prettiest villages

Nestling beneath the mighty Kitzsteinhorn (3203m), Kaprun is one of the oldest villages in the area, with records dating back to 931. Its most famous landmark, the castle, dates back to the 12th century. In the middle ages Kaprun was a stopping off point on the trade route over the Hohe Tauern mountains.

Book your holidays in Kaprun if you're keen to explore the Hohe Tauern National Park.This is the largest national park in the Alps at 1200km² with 266 peaks over 3,000m, including Austria's highest, the Grossglockner. The peak of the Kitzsteinhorn, easily accessible via cable car is the best place to enjoy the spectacular 360° views and keen skiers can ski on the glacier beneath it for 365 days a year.A visit to the reservoirs for more stunning scenery is also a must.

Holidays in Kaprun also offer relaxation - you can't beat the newly opened Tauern Spa World with its 2,000m² of pools, as well as gym, saunas and beauty treatments. On 26th August 2012 Kaprun will be host to the Ironman 70.3 triathlon event. Zell am See with its lake is close by and easily reached on the free postbus, thereby opening up a range of extra water-based activities as well as pleasure cruises on the lake (free with the Summer Card).
