"Situated at the foot of Kitzsteinhorn, Kaprun is a prime tourism destination in Europe, featuring 5,000 guest beds and approximately 650,000 overnight stays per year, which makes it one of the economic powerhouses of the Alpine republic. A special attraction for holidaymakers from all over the world is the glacier skiing area at a height of 2,900 metres above sea-level. This is where winter sports enthusiasts meet the best of conditions for unclouded fun in the snow."

"Even in the summertime, it is perfectly possible to use the pistes; they cover a distance of 41 kilometres. About 15 kilometres of the fluffy snow are to be found on Maiskogel, the little brother of mighty Kitzsteinhorn. This family mountain with its gently ascending slopes constitutes ideal grounds for those who are just about to start doing winter sports. Getting up to the peak is a piece of cake: the ski bus takes the guests directly to the lifts and cable cars."

"The village can look back on an eventful history of many centuries. Its figurehead is its castle, 'Burg Kaprun'. The building, which had a total overhaul in 1975, was erected on a prominent piece of rock in the 12th century. Even up until today, it has been serving as a platform for many cultural events. Its eastern tower, which is called 'Turn ze Chaprunne', was built in the Romanic style. It is said to have been built as a compensation for attacks by the Velber Family." - Kaprun Website
