Arrived in Kaprun Between glacier and reservoir

Welcome to the foot of the Hohe Tauern Your holiday in Kaprun

In Kaprun the high mountains lie right on your doorstep, and that leads to some unusual excursions. One you will not forget in a hurry can be found at around 2,040 metres, where the mighty dam walls of the high-mountain reservoirs are spread out - a piece of Austrian engineering history known as the Mythos Kaprun. The Lärchwand inclined lift, one of the largest open lifts of its kind, takes you up. Down in the village stands the small medieval Kaprun Castle, and right beside it the Sigmund Thun Gorge leads through a narrow, roaring ravine. Wild water, high mountains and engineering all lie close together here.
