Zell am See – Kaprun October 9, 2025. When the Kitzsteinhorn is covered in snow, the ski season begins in Kaprun: on October 11, 2025, the glacier ski area will start the winter season – earlier than almost anywhere else in the Alps. Where clear mountain air, speed, and vastness can be felt, the TAUERN SPA Zell am See – Kaprun creates the ideal balance: a retreat that combines athletic energy with complete relaxation.
Skiing with a view
At an altitude of 3,000 meters, winter arrives early. Perfectly groomed slopes and the mountain panorama give skiers the incomparable feeling of floating above the mountains. Anyone who makes their first turns of the season here immediately senses that winter is just around the corner.
With a view of the valley and only a few minutes away, the TAUERN SPA awaits – a stylish base camp for adventure seekers and a haven of peace for connoisseurs.
Space for relaxation and regeneration
After a day full of activity, the exclusive 4*S resort at the foot of the Kitzsteinhorn reveals its full diversity: more than 20,000 m² of spa experience in the spa water and sauna world, where warmth, water, and the fascinating view of the glacier combine to create a very special experience. Heated outdoor pools with mountain panoramas, spacious saunas & steam baths, and inviting relaxation rooms create an atmosphere in which body and mind can effortlessly recover. Here, the adrenaline of the day is exchanged for a feeling of deep relaxation and regeneration.
Cuisine with character
Evenings at TAUERN SPA are all about indulgence. At the Lichtblick hotel restaurant, regional ingredients are combined with fine craftsmanship – which you can experience live with front and show cooking. Guests are not only treated to culinary delights, but also visual ones: authentic Alpine dishes are created from high-quality products, rounding off a day of skiing in style.
The perfect autumn offer for the start of winter
To mark the start of the season, TAUERN SPA is offering the “Expedition GlacierFit & Thermal Wellness” package. It includes two nights' accommodation and can be booked from now until April 13, 2026.
