Sigmund-Klamm in Kaprun
by globetrott
Sigmund-Klamm is an interesting sight that you really should not miss when coming to Kaprun and Zell am See. It is an easy walk and you have to pay some small entrance-fee before you will be able to walk over and along a fresh mountain-stream making its way through the rocks. At the end of the Sigmund-Klamm you can decide, whether you go back all the way that you came through the Klamm or you might take another path through the woods as well.
The total walkingtime from the carpark through the Klamm and back will be around 1,5 hours.
Sigmundklamm is open for visitors:
from end of May till end of September
daily from 09.00am-05.0pm
entrancefee was 3,30 euros in 2009
Rest stops along the slopes
by codrutz
Rest stops are great after some ski laps. There are a lot of options, located near the cable facilities, some large with restaurants and even rooms available if you want to spend the night and be the first on the slope, and smaller outside bars where you can have a drink (schnaps, beer, hot wine) and a snack (hot dog with cabbage or else).
Summer 2005
by salsadave
Summer or Winter resort , it is situated by a scenic lake surrounded by snowcapped mountains. An easy 10km walk round the lake ,with cable car up the mountain, and plenty of other walking. After a hard day on your feet there is an babundance of pleasant cafe's and restaurants to relax in while enjoying the scenery. Within easy reach of the fascinating Groslockner pass up to the country's highest peak, also within reach of a couple of steam railways , Kitzbuhl and Salzburg. Salzburg Castle is well worth a visit.
We had a superb week and would definately go back again.
