With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy everything that Dorfgastein, 16 miles away, has to offer. Alpentherme Gastein, Schlossalm Funicular and Ski, Berge & Thermen Gastein alone justify the drive. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Bad Hofgastein, 19 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Alpentherme Gastein. (But we’re also huge fans of Schlossalm Funicular and Angertal Ski Resort.)

Beaches can be the best places for kite flying. If the wind’s up, why not usher the kids into the car and go on an outing to Zeller See Beach? It’s 4 miles from Kaprun and is a heavenly place for some fun and games.
