Visitor Reviews of Kaprun
Jonathan Mann from United Kingdom writes:
There is extensive skiing at Kaprun with excellent slopes for all skill levels. My only concern was the very high speeds that many people were skiing at. It was frankly dangerous. There is no way this would be permitted in North America. Something needs to be done about it. We are aware of one fatality that occurred 2 weeks before we holidayed there.
