Globetrotters with an appetite for something exquisitely scenic, decidedly dramatic, adventurous, romantic, and playful tend to head to the snow-capped Austrian peaks. More specifically, the Alpine village of Kaprun in the Salzburger region, lying at the foot of the majestic Hohe Tauern Mountains, is on the wishlist of many wanderlust travellers. One can imagine the extreme mountainous landscape, fresh rivers meandering through the towns, lush greenery, wildflowers, sunshine, and snow – this special place captivates the hearts of many.
When it comes to where to stay in Kaprun, we’ve discovered a shining jewel in the village’s treasure chest: The Kaprun Edition. They offer a luxurious portfolio of rental villas and apartments in the town, with something for everyone in terms of style, size, experience, and cost. It’s no surprise that they have just received, for the third year in a row, the Best Luxury Villa Rental & Accommodation Service award in Austria, 2022, by the Luxury Lifestyle Awards. Here we look at what has caught the attention and approval of one of the world’s leading accolades.
These are all the different types of accommodation on offer through The Kaprun Edition:
The Kaprun Edition: Offers Six organic wooden chalets of different sizes according to guest needs. Sophisticated and warm decor enhances the welcoming atmosphere, and the natural trunk design creates a unique experience. Stand-out features include a private sauna and hot tub on the private terrace, which overlooks the river.
The Style Lodge: These are their latest addition to the portfolio, offering spacious and plush Style Suites and a Penthouse Suite. Enjoy a gourmet designer kitchen and a private sauna. The Style Lodge can accommodate up to 18 guests simultaneously, with four or seven bedrooms.
The Adventure Lodge: This is an exciting and unique three-bedroom wooden chalet featuring two wooden sleeping barrels on the private terrace. The sleeping barrels accommodate two guests each and have their sauna barrels. Located right on the riverfront with a wood-heated hot tub – this makes for a memorable and thrilling experience.
The Landhaus Country Lodge: This charming country lodge offers nine traditional and comfortable apartments for between three and six people to enjoy. This is a fantastic option to relax and take in the surrounding beauty. These apartments have been fully renovated recently, so an even better experience is ahead.
The Flying Lodge: The Kaprun Edition offers two residential units in Fly High – apartments on stilts! These sky-high apartments with magnificent views of the surrounding glaciers can accommodate up to ten guests. This unusual structure gives guests the feeling and sense that they are floating amongst the clouds, hence the lodge’s name. The decor is ultra-modern, fused with traditional Alpine elements and boasts luxurious amenities.
The Mara Lodge: The Mara by Fischer chalet is the ideal option for travellers who need an affordable Kaprun stay that still ticks all the boxes. This value-for-money accommodation offers good amenities and places you in one of the most sought-after destinations in the Salzburg region. Use this as the perfect base to go out exploring the area with sporty or relaxed excursions any time of the year.
A noteworthy attribute of this award-winning villa rental company is that they are dedicated to green operations. This means they strive to use only sustainable sources in operating their business. Evidence of this is that their accommodations are built from local wood and materials, they have engaged the use of solar-generated energy, which powers their villas, and they do all their business transport in an E-Car. In addition, they ensure their properties are abundant in fauna and flora, stimulating a healthy ecosystem in the local area. This deliberate focus is aligned with the owner Susanne Fischer to create a natural environment in the beauty of the Alps, alongside a river surrounded by stunning mountains.
The onsite team are all passionate locals committed to promoting their village and surroundings to all the people who visit. Another wonderful plus for guests of The Kaprun Edition is that they receive a Kaprun-Zell am See card which allows them free public transport in the local area. It’s another way they go above and beyond in creating exceptional vacation experiences for their valued guests.
