It’s been 16 years since I last skied and that was in a large group (ski school) plus I suffered injuries. This time was a totally different experience. Bewegt kept us informed as to when, where and whom we would be meeting for ski instructor. Our instructor was Andy, very good command of the English language enabling him to share jokes and laughs with us. Showed a great deal of patience with both my self and partner whom had never skied before, plus we’re both more mature in years so the lessons were tailored to both our needs and not just the weakest of us, enabling both of us to achieve our own personal goals and more Andy made some suggestions on equipment which we both followed up (we had taken our own out of date skis) and this made a great deal of difference to the both of us. Making things a great deal easier. In all a great week was had skiing very enjoyable, because we had a great instructor who went at our pace and tailored our lessons around us, allowing for breaks and recognising when we were both very tiered without pushing us to carry on. Private ski lessons may seem expensive to start with (as we both thought) but well worth it in the end. Would highly recommend Bewegt ski school to everyone weather beginners or experienced, young or old. We got a lot out of it in terms of instruction and enjoyment. We would both like to thank all at Bewegt for their time, understanding and patience. Wh hope to come back next year for more fun in the snow and will definitely be booking more instruction with the Team.

3. Kitzsteinhorn

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.

Expert, considerate and entertaining 2 hour lesson with Peter, a Kaprun native with perfect idiomatic English and a reassuring manner. Ideal for this elderly, nervous skier.
6. Gipfelwelt 3000
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 341 reviews
High above, in 3.029 metres above sea level and directly at the border to the Hohe Tauern National Park, you can feel alpine nature with all your senses. An alpine experience, which is usually reserved for experienced alpinists on their mountain tours, turns into a leisurely excursion at the Kitzsteinhorn in 3.000 metres above sea level. Reached easily with the comfortable cable cars, the Gipfelwelt 3000 is a popular excursion destination all year round. The view from the viewing platforms "Top of Salzburg“ and "National Park Gallery“ is marvellous. The glaciated peaks of the Hohe Tauern National Park glisten in the sunshine and Austria's highest mountain, the Grossglockner, peeks at eye level through the clouds. Austria's mightiest mountains are at your fingertips here. You can experience the glacier close up on a summerly slide in the Ice Arena below the peak.

We arrived early thinking we would beat the rush, however I’d failed to realise we had gone on a national holiday, and the place was busy at 8.30am. We parked with ease as car park attendants were in place. We joined the line for tickets, about a 5 minute wait, then onto the cable car, again about 5 min wait. Then off up the mountain. The trip up in 3 parts, as it’s to high for one single cable car, so a couple of changes are need on the way up. Each time you get off a cable car, you have to join another line to get the next one. Once you reach the top most cable car house, most people head to the ski slopes, the Gipfelwelt visitors take one more trip, this time on a short funicular railway to the viewing platform. Once there, you can go up and outside to see the spectator views. They have provided a camera, which you can activate a 3 second timer to take a photo of you and your party (this is then download from the website, free of charge) the views are stunning and well worth the trip up. The temperature at the top was -4 degrees and much lower with the wind chill factor, so take a hat and gloves. The building had good heating, so you can pop inside to warm up as needed. A restaurant is also available at the viewing platform, although we didn’t use it, so can’t comment on that. Make sure you take the walk down the “Tunnel” we didn’t know what this was, so decided to go and investigate, its was a pretty steep walk in places, along a man made tunnel, at the other end is another viewing platform on the other side of the mountain, with equally impressive views, it didn’t appear that many people knew about it (although it is signposted) as it was basically empty, with only a few people there, we had it to ourselves for the most part. The trip down was much easier, as the skiers were still amusing themselves, very few people were going down the mountain, so walked straight onto cable cars without waiting. The whole experience from parking until driving away was around 3 hours. I thought the €43 euro entry was well worth it. If you are in the Zell am see region, a really good place to see nature in all its glory.

This playground meets the highest safety standards with the slide paradise, bouncy castles, carousel and much more. If you like speed, you'll definitely want to take on the Maisi Flitzer.

It was a great experience to ride the Coaster and it cost around 11 euro for one ride and also there’s a coffee shop and kids play ground. I recommend it

Nadine from Ski Dome school in Kaprun is the best ski instructor we ever had and we’ve had plenty of lessons over the years. Her tips were concise and well delivered and she transformed our skiing style in one day. We never felt as balanced & controlled, a revelation! She was super nice too and our 9 year old son had great fun with her. She introduced him to backwards skiing, skiing on one leg and some fun off piste too. We got so much from our first 2 hour lesson, we booked her to guide us at the glacier for 3 hours today. It was the best days skiing we ever had and we felt confident tackling blacks & even completed the Black Mamba, an inconceivable idea just yesterday. Book Nadine at Ski Dome, she’s fantastic!
