Kaprun is an extremely beautiful village which has retained its charm. If you are looking to party until you drop then this may not be the place for you. However, if you want guaranteed snow it’s the place for you, with the Kitzsteinhorn glacier a free 10 minute bus ride away. I even skied it in August. The Slopes in the village are ideal for skiers of all abilities. What could be better than ending your day in the lederhosen bar with a hot glass of mulled wine? If you’ve never skied before, the Hotel Taurenhoff backs onto the baby slopes and the facilities there are top notch. To sum up stop looking for other ski resorts and go here!

This was the best holiday I've had - Great park, excellent off piste, cracking weather and I would say it was the best food I've ever had on any holiday (all my meals were at the mittereger) The hotel overall is excellent value, the apres isnt that good as its small town but i dont go for that anyway, if you love to ski in ski out on your holiday then this isnt for you, but as I say I really like this resort. You can ski the glacier (10-15 by bus) Zell am see (15 mins by bus) Or walk to the local hill Maiskogel that has a small park and some nice tree runs that will entertain you for at least half a day or a whole day if there is powder. When the snow is suffering at zell / salbaach / hinterglem get to the glacier early or there is big queues!
Apres Ski: 3/5
