Kaprun Essentials

Kaprun’s landscape is defined by the Kitzsteinhorn glacier, reaching 3,029 meters, and the engineering feat of the Mooserboden and Wasserfallboden high-altitude reservoirs. The region features the 320-meter-long Sigmund Thun-Klamm gorge, carved by glacial meltwater, and the 12th-century Burg Kaprun fortress. For recreation, the Maiskogel mountain provides accessible trails and skiing, while the Gipfelbahn cable car connects visitors to the Top of Salzburg panoramic platform.
