Ski area Kitzsteinhorn/Maiskogel - Kaprun
With around 61 kilometres, the Kitzsteinhorn glacier ski area and the Maiskogel family ski area offer mostly blue and red pistes for beginners and leisure skiers. Wide carving pistes and long, sporty descents, such as the 5 km long piste from the Gletscherjet 4 mountain station, make skiers' hearts beat faster. Experts looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush, on the other hand, are in just the right place on the Black Mamba with a gradient of up to 63 per cent. From Kaprun, you can reach the glacier with the Gletscherjet and the Panoramabahn or directly from the town centre with the MK Maiskogelbahn and the 3K K-onnection, one of the most modern and energy-efficient cable cars in the world.
With a large proportion of wide and blue pistes, the Maiskogel ski area is particularly suitable for families and leisure skiers. At the Almbahn mountain station, winter sports enthusiasts will also find the longest run in the ski region at around 7 kilometres.
As a special service, the ski areas around Zell am See and Kaprun offer free Wi-Fi at various hotspots throughout the ski area. You can easily access the Wi-Fi network and surf the internet, download the latest snow reports or post pictures!
In the neighbouring Schmittenhöhe-Zell am See ski area, you have access to around 77 kilometres of pistes and over 28 modern lifts. Experienced skiers can try their hand at the 4 km long Trass run, which is the most difficult in the entire ski area and one of the steepest runs in the whole of Salzburger Land.
Night skiing Kaprun
There is no night skiing in Kaprun itself.In Zell am See, the neighbouring village of Kaprun, night skiing is possible on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Night skiing takes place on the 1.5 km floodlit "Nightslope" at the Ebenbergbahn cable car. On days when the piste is open in the evening for night skiing, the Ebenbergbahn closes earlier. The lift is then open again for night skiing from 17:00 to 20:30. A special highlight is the view of the illuminated houses of Zell am See at night. Ski passes valid for several days are also valid on the night skiing dates. Otherwise, tickets for night skiing can also be purchased on site.
Après ski Kaprun
Numerous other activities such as tobogganing (day & night), cross-country skiing or a visit to the adventure pool with sauna round off the extensive offer. Those who want to fly high can try a parachute jump, glide over the region in a hang glider or enjoy the view in a glider. A stroll through the pedestrianised zone with its shops and cafés also offers plenty of variety.
Snowpark: Snowpark Kitzsteinhorn Kaprun
A wide range of freestyle options are available in the three ski areas. The first address is the Kitzsteinhorn, as four varied areas await adrenaline junkies and freestyle fans in the Kitzsteinhorn Snowpark.
In the "Easy Park", kids and beginners can get their first taste of freestyle and advanced riders can improve their skills. Among other things, there is a rainbow box, a wave box, a down rail and three kickers. In the "Central Park" and "South Central Park", professionals and advanced riders will be able to get to grips with each other. 9 m barriers, various rails and kickers (5 - 13 m) as well as a knuckle leave nothing to be desired. At the very top, at an altitude of 2,900 metres, there is also the "Glacier Park". In addition to the snow parks, there is also an Eagle Line with obstacles for beginners and experts and, as an absolute highlight, the 150 m long and 6.5 m high superpipe - Austria's largest halfpipe.
