The apartment is a good size, very clean, light and friendly. It has a large living room with two sleeping couches (each couch sleeps 2), cable-colour-TV with 25 Programmes, and a CD player. There is also a fully equipped small kitchen with microwave, one large table with 4 chairs, and plenty of storage for skis, bikes and so forth.

There is also a glorious balcony with beautiful views.

The apartment is very conveniently located for the village. Close by are a supermarket, many restaurants and the Kaprun indoor tennis centre. The area itself is fantastic as well. Despite its low height Kaprun is set at the foot of the Kitzsteinhorn glacier - so you will have guaranteed snow and fantastic scenery here. Kaprun is a charming picturesque little village placed close to its well known neighbour Zell am See which is a free bus ride away.

A spacious and modern apartment ideally located for skiing (including summer skiing) walking and touring.

Kaprun is an ideal centre for visiting a wide area of Europe, with excellent road and rail links in all directions.

Despite its low height Kaprun is set at the foot of the Kitzsteinhorn glacier - so you will have guaranteed snow and fantastic scenery here.

The 'Europa Sport region' lift pass covers both the glacier and Zell am See as well as the Lechnerberg and Maiskogel slopes which are directly beside Kaprun village.

The skiing With over 130km of varied piste in 4 different areas above and below the tree line this area will appeal to all. The Kitzsteinhorn glacier guarantees the snow. The free bus connects you to Zell am See (a 10-15 min ride) where you will find pretty tree lined slopes with great views down to the lake.

Kaprun is an ancient village, first mentioned in documents of 931 AD (February 9th to be precise!) when it had a slightly more wordy title: 'Chataprunnin in Pisoncia'. Kaprun Castle was built upon one of the dominent ridges in the 12th century and mentioned for the first time in 1280. Today it holds a number of cultural events, as well as hosting the 2 day castle festival every August. Kaprun Alpine Reservoirs were constructed in 1955, the Kaprun dam made the village famous. Visit these alpine reservoirs surrounded by spectacular mountain ranges, learn more about electricity and explore the 'inner life' of a dam.

Hi Chris

Thanks very much for the rent of your apartment. It's a lovely apartment and so close to everything. We had loads of snow on the glacier so were able to snowboard almost to 2pm which was great (this did mean that we didn't get much else done!!)

You might want to mention on your info sheet that the supermarkets aren't open on Sundays as that caught us out so we went round the corner from the apartment to Bella Casa and had really lovely Italian/Greek food which was cheap with massive portions (can highly recommend that one).

Anyway, thanks once again and I will probably be in touch for another trip next year.

Kind Regards

Hazel Richardson
