Welcome to Kaprun
Glacier skiing on the Kitzsteinhorn runs year-round, making Kaprun a rare destination that works in any season. In winter you're on snow-covered pistes by morning. Come summer, hiking trails open up across the alpine landscape, with the Zell am See lake region easy to reach from Kaprun. Resorts in Kaprun are built around this dual-season appeal, with many catering specifically to skiers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts.

Booking late can be a bit of a gamble, but it can work in your favor. Some stays discount their rates close to arrival to attract more bookings, especially during low season or on quieter days.
Flexible on dates? Say hello to better rates

When to visit Kaprun
High and low season in Kaprun
Winter draws the biggest crowds to Kaprun, running roughly from December through March. The Kitzsteinhorn glacier offers skiing and snowboarding well into spring, and accommodation fills up fast over the holiday period and school breaks. If you're planning a ski trip, booking early gives you more options on both lodging and pricing.
The shoulder seasons, particularly late spring and early autumn, bring fewer visitors and a more relaxed feel. Hiking and outdoor activities are available in summer, and you'll generally find it easier to secure accommodation without as much advance planning. Some facilities may operate on reduced schedules outside peak periods, so it pays to check ahead.
Kaprun hosts community events and seasonal celebrations through the year, but specific details can shift. Your best starting point is the official Kaprun tourism website or the local visitor information centre, both of which can give you current event listings before your trip.
