Short Ski Breaks To Kaprun
With easy access to Austria's snow-sure Kitzsteinhorn Glacier, short ski breaks in Kaprun are a great choice for anyone looking to pack plenty of skiing into just a few days. Salzburg Airport is around 1 hour 30 minutes away, making ski holidays in Kaprun particularly well suited to a three or four-night escape.
The Kitzsteinhorn Glacier is the big attraction, offering high-altitude skiing and reliable snow conditions throughout the season. Closer to town, the Maiskogel provides a smaller network of lifts and some lovely tree-lined runs, with the 3K K-onnection linking the Maiskogel directly with the Kitzsteinhorn ski area.
Away from the slopes, Kaprun has plenty of traditional Austrian character. A distinctive church spire and 13th-century castle overlook the town, while around Salzburger Platz and the nearby riverside you'll find a good selection of shops, cafés, restaurants and bars. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to settle into resort life from the moment you arrive.
Ski holidays to Kaprun also give you access to much more than the local slopes. Excellent transport connections make it easy to explore nearby Zell am See for additional skiing, shopping, restaurants and nightlife, while the wider Ski ALPIN CARD opens up an extensive area of skiing across the region.
Kaprun also works particularly well for mixed-ability groups and non-skiers, with several mountain restaurants accessible without skis, making meeting up for lunch straightforward.
Combine reliable glacier skiing, a relatively short airport transfer and a lively traditional town, and it's easy to see why Kaprun is such a good destination for a short ski break in Austria.
