Holidays to Kaprun conjure up images of lavish days gone by – think Medieval monuments, enchanting hiking trails and snap-worthy fortresses.

Visit for the views

Much like its north-central neighbour Salzburg – and much of Austria – Kaprun delivers big on alpine views. There are lots of walking trails in this hiker's paradise that lead up to mountain peaks. Kick back after your climb by soaking in Tauern Spa, or sip on a hot chocolate in the comfort of a cosy café.

Tales from the past

Kaprun's 12th-century castle was a war-ready fortress back in the day. Now it's a super-cool events space, hosting weddings, concerts and even Medieval festivals in its stone walls. If you're looking for something a little more small-scale, visit the charming hilltop church of St Margareta, a 90-minute drive away.

Walk on the wild side

Kaprun's got bundles of Austria's famous natural beauty. Lace up those hiking boots and power along the trails of Mount Maiskogel. If you're truly intrepid, check out the town of Zell Am See – there's another mountain to tackle here, as well as an Alpine glacier to ski on.

Top things to see and do in Kaprun

Beautiful Lake Zell

Kaprun’s nearest beaches are on Lake Zell – one of the most beautiful lakes in Europe – at Thumersbach, Seespitz and Zell am See. They can be reached by car, bike or bus. Each beach has its own personality and offers different facilities.

Best for families

Seespitz Lido sits on the southern bank of Lake Zell, and is generally quiet but great for families. There’s a small stretch of sand, a diving board, playground, waterslide, fountains, tennis court and watersports.

Lakeside fun

Zell am See Lido is the biggest on the lake. It comes with a minigolf course, boat hire, café, waterslide and diving platform. Thumerbach Lido sits on the eastern bank of the lake and is easily accessible by car. It has a stunning natural beach skirting an idyllic cove, and a host of fun watersports.

Bargain Buys

From June to September, Kaprun holds a Genuss market at Salzburger Platz from 5pm until 10pm. It's the perfect place to nab a bargain souvenir, and you can sample regional produce like bacon, honey, cheese and schnapps.

Mid-range Buys

Kaprun has a small collection of shops to browse, like a traditional Austrian dress shop and a big fashion and sports shop that sells casual clothing and activewear.

Lively Evenings

For a livelier evening pop into the centre of town and have a couple of tasty cocktails at Cantina Bar Zucchini. Or if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, head over to nearby Zell am See.

Laid-Back Evenings

Take an evening stroll and soak up Kaprun’s chocolate-box scenery.

Eating out

Kaprun, like Zell am See, has everything from traditional pubs to modern Austrian coffee houses, all with top-class hospitality – especially in the rustic inns in the mountains. Restaurants, bars and cafés are dotted around, with lots by the river so you can relax and listen to the gurgling water, as well as a good few in the centre of town too.

Feel at home at Alpengasthaus Glocknerblick

Up the mountain is Alpengasthaus Glocknerblick, a homely hut with extremely friendly owners and staff. There are amazing views of the mountains and the valley from here and the strudel is highly recommended.

Themed fun at Kitsch & Bitter

Located in the centre of town is Kitsch & Bitter, a moose-themed restaurant and bar which holds numerous themed nights with live music, BBQs and karaoke. Look out for the elk as you walk down the stairs to the toilets.

Comfort food at Hilberger’s Beisl

A short walk away is Hilberger’s Beisl – look out for the bright green sign that ribbons the building. Inside, the décor is warming and traditional and they serve appetising Italian and Austrian dishes.
