Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Kaprun
13 stays · 4 aparthotels and 9 serviced apartments
Kaprun is an Alpine village in the Pinzgau region of Salzburg state, and aparthotels and serviced apartments are well suited to it. Ski and glacier holidays involve bulky kit and early starts, so a flat with a kitchen, a drying space and separate sleeping areas is easier for families and groups than a standard room. In summer the same apartments suit walkers and lake visitors who want to self-cater.

Zell am See is a lakeside alpine town on Lake Zell, according to the regional tourism board, with attractions including Castle Rosenberg and the Austrian Fountain. Together with Kaprun it forms the Zell am See-Kaprun area. Choosing Zell am See as a base gives you a lake-town atmosphere and more evening activity, with Kaprun a short journey away.
Getting around Kaprun

In winter, the region operates ski buses, according to its tourism board. Wikipedia describes the Kitzsteinhorn lifts in detail: a cable car from a valley station at 911 metres. The underground funicular that opened in 1974 was replaced by the Gletscherjet I and II lifts, which opened in 2001 and 2002. The Gletscherbahn upper station is at 3,029 metres. Within the village itself, most distances are walkable.
Living in Kaprun for longer
Kaprun suits stays of a week or two best, especially in ski season, when your days follow the lifts. For a longer stay, choose an apartment with a kitchen, a drying room and a place to store equipment, and think about whether you will need a car for supermarkets in Zell am See. The Summer Card promoted by the regional tourism board offers benefits at partner attractions and accommodation.
Wikipedia describes Tauern Spa World, completed in November 2010, as the second largest spa complex in Austria, and the tourism board lists a four-star superior thermal resort among its wellness offers. A spa visit is a good rainy-day plan for longer stays. For help comparing formats, read aparthotel vs hotel.
