We visited these lakes and it's really a must-see! From Kaprun you go up to the central point where everybody gathers and there you take the bus to the stauseen. It is gorgeous to see and there are a lot of hiking trails. You also have the possibility to picknick or eat there (there's also a toilet). You can go up to a viewpoint (there's sometimes a lot of people and they all want to take pictures so be patient). After a day of hiking and enjoying the views, you go back with the bus which will take you to the central point.

The Kitzsteinhorn is legendary: it`s not just a glacier – it`s THE glacier. Salzburg`s highest ski area offers an unparalleleld Alpine experience 365 days a year. It`s here that the winter season begins. Starting in autumn, you`ll already find the perfect snow for a perfect winter sports experience. Whether you`re racing down pristine white slopes or the spectacular off-piste ski routes or on your board in the snowparks, the variety of choices you`ll find is unmatched.

The Kitzsteinhorn cable car is a scenic 'must do' for anyone visiting Salzburgerland province of Austria. Located about 20 minutes from Kaprun, the cable car gives visitors an awe-inspiring trip to "Top of Salzburg at 3,029 metres" in three distinct legs - a gondola, then chairlift, finally a cable car. The views and scenery change throughout the journey, and you get to appreciate the truly amazing geography that has formed the Alps. The Gipfelwelt exhibition is located in a tunnel bored through the summit of the mountain, and it is an interesting display about the formation and geology of the Hohe Tauern mountains and glaciers. Caution here...at this altitude the air is thin and walking back up through the tunnel can suddenly leave you totally out of breath. The lifts are modern, competently operated and you feel completely safe as you're whisked up over cliffs, ravines, snowfields and people and animals passing by underneath.

Beautiful! The power of water is amazing. It's a nice stroll on the wooden path. You might get wet. Parking is tricky, there are more parking lots along the road. The entrance is a bit hidden.

We really enjoyed the spa - the external pools looking towards the Kaprun glacier, fun slide and a number of saunas - take your pick! We planned to stay three hours but ended up extending our stay cause there were so many things to enjoy and explore. To recommend - salt sauna, really relaxing and enjoyable. Make sure to either rent a towel or bring a large towel with you - it is compulsory to sit on your towel in sauna and not with bare skin. Cheers
