Glacier world 3000
Far above, at 3,029 metres above sea level, directly on the border to the Hohe Tauern National Park, a true alpine experience begins. With the comfortable cable cars for everyone easily accessible, the Gipfelwelt 3000 is a popular excursion destination the whole year. At the Ice Arena below the summit the glacier can be discovered with sliding fun and adventure. National Park rangers lead through the Gipfelwelt 3000 and tell interesting details about the Hohe Tauern and the Kitzsteinhorn.
Nature experience
The new 3-K K-ONNECTION connects the centre of Kaprun with the Kitzsteinhorn. The twelve-kilometre-long panoramic ride is not only the longest continuous cable car route, but also opens up unprecedented views of the high alpine natural landscape. Panoramic and resting places and a wide variety of alpine offers await you on all levels.
Family-friendly hiking routes and adventure playgrounds invite to be discovered. Hiking on the Kitzsteinhorn is a special kind of nature experience. Depending on the altitude you can get to know different alpine habitats. Also for mountain bikers there is everything your heart desires.
Another summer highlight is the Ice Arena. While other summer holidaymakers swim in the Zeller See, there is icy fun for the whole family. Whether it's a snowball fight, exuberant slides over gentle snowy slopes, adventurous hiking along the secured glacier trail or relaxing in the sun loungers on the glacier plateau - this is where families and nature lovers experience their summer snow pleasure.
Not tired yet? End your day in the family & amusement park at the Kaprun Center at the valley station of the Maiskogelbahn - here the kids will find a true paradise for fun.
Guided Tours
Guided tours are particularly suitable for a family excursion. Very popular is the "Kitzsteinhorn EXPLORER TOUR", which starts directly in Kaprun. National Park rangers lead a daily tour through four climate and vegetation zones, during which 2,261 metres in altitude are overcome. On the cable car sections visitors take the eagle's perspective. The views from the all-round glazed Explorer cabins of the 3K K-onnection are particularly magnificent. In between, smaller exploratory tours are undertaken to study fauna and flora in the respective climate zones. The tour starts daily at 9:00 a. m. at the Kaprun Center and can be combined with a "National Park Gallery Tour" in the afternoon to a whole, exciting nature experience day at the border of the National Park Hohe Tauern.
