Unique sports, nature & panorama bliss
Kitzsteinhorn & Maiskogel
On the Kitzsteinhorn and Maiskogel in Kaprun, sports enthusiasts, families and day trippers experience a rich variety of nature activities in breathtaking settings all year round, right at the Hohe Tauern National Park border, Alps' largest nature reserve.
Highlights in Winter
There is hardly a ski resort so varied as the one on and around the Kitzsteinhorn in the Zell am See-Kaprun region. In the high-alpine Kitzsteinhorn glacier ski resort, winter sports enthusiasts enjoy an extra-long ski season from fall until early summer due to its snow-secure altitude and top-notch snow management. The close-to-town Maiskogel ski resort enjoys great popularity especially among families and mellow-minded skiers. Independently of skis and snowboards, both Kaprun town mountains offer incomparable nature and panorama bliss with unique attractions and adventure offerings.
