Spring is your favorite season? Sports opportunities and excursions are a must for you during your vacation – and less hustle and bustle on-site a reason to book? Then spring in Zell am See-Kaprun is the perfect travel destination for you and your basecamp the Hotel Kaprunerhof.
#1 Nature Awakes!
The flora and fauna of the Salzburg Alpine world is truly special when you catch it 'waking up.' While the snow in the valley has begun to retreat, the colorful plant splendor is on the rise. It is this unique spring feeling that makes the atmosphere in Zell am See-Kaprun so special. Experience the Salzburger Land and the Alps in a garb that fascinates nature lovers anew every year.
#2 The Glacier
Its silhouette is the trademark of the mountain world around our hotel, and for us, the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier is unique for several reasons. Even from the breakfast table, the view keeps wandering back to the distinctive massif, which offers multiple options for explorers in April.
On one hand, there is Salzburg's only glacier ski resort, which has its turnstiles open until May. In spring, you encounter significantly fewer crowds and excellent slopes. At the same time, temperatures are milder, which creates a relaxed atmosphere in the eternal ice.
On the other hand, the Kitzsteinhorn is a popular excursion destination in spring for the whole family. From Salzburg's highest viewing platform at 3,000 meters over the National Park Gallery to the extraordinary cinema experience Cinema 3000.
