The apartment is ideally situated in the centre of Kaprun, about an hour and a quarter's drive from Salzburg airport. Bus-linked to Zell am See (8 km away), Kaprun makes up part of the 'Europa Sport' region, with 130 km of pistes over four mountains. This includes 35 km of pistes on the Kitzsteinhorn mountain (3,000 m), whose glacier provides genuine 365 day skiing and the Maiskogel mountain whose ski lifts run from the centre of Kaprun. The Schmittenhohe mountain is slightly further away, towards Zell am See, and has 80 km of pistes. For novices, the Lechnerberglifte serves the nursery slopes that are close to the centre of the village. All four areas are bus-linked and covered by the same ski-pass. The region is perfect for beginners and intermediates, yet still provides off-piste challenges for more advanced skiers. For even more varied skiing, Kaprun is not far from the ski areas at Saalbach, Hinterglemm and Leogang. Lifts to the Kitzbuhel Alps are only a 30 minute drive away.
