Kaprun offers glacier skiing on the Kitzsteinhorn from October to June, making it one of the most reliably snow-sure destinations in the Salzburg Alps. The high-altitude Kaprun reservoirs, built as a major post-war hydroelectric scheme and visible from the glacier, are a summer excursion destination by electric bus through the mountain tunnel. Kaprun pairs with Zell am See 8 kilometers north on a combined ski pass. About 1 hour 15 minutes from Salzburg by car. The Kitzsteinhorn summit at 3,029 meters has a year-round viewpoint accessible by lift.
