Cross country skiing is readily available in Kaprun with a 12km circuit running directly from the village to join up with the larger 125km Pinzgauloipe if you wisj=h to embark on a cross-country ski holiday.

High Altitude, glacier skiing
Kaprun is a charming, picturesque village, 10 minutes by free ski bus from Zell am See. It provides visitors with easy access to the snowsure Kitzsteinhorn glacier, situated a 15-20 minute bus ride away. The panoramic views from the observation deck at the top of the cable car station are stunning and not to be missed during your skiing holidy. On the outskirts of the village, the smaller ski area of Maiskogel is served by a gondola and best suited to beginners and intermediates. Although the resort centre is smaller than its neighbour, Zell am See, it offers a good choice of bars, restaurants and shops and some surprisingly good nightlife for a village its size. Ski resort facilities include a bowling alley, sports centre, plus lots of other activities on offer, ideal for family ski holidays.
