Dazzle the Little Ones: The Night of the Balloons

Looking to dazzle your children and give them an unforgettable experience? Zell am See is the best place to be this February for the mesmerising Balloonalps 2017. This spectacular event is any toddler’s dream – 30 colourful hot air balloons sailing through the Austrian skies in a race across the Alps – and it is sure to take your breath away too!

Taking place between the 11th and 18th of February in Zell am See-Kaprun in Salzburg, this wonderful occasion is a great experience for a young family. In addition to colourful balloons contrasting against the fresh blue of the sky and white of the stunning snow-capped Alps, Balloonalps is also jam-packed full of fun activities. There will never be a dull moment!

Out of Season Skiing: Kaprun & Kitzeinhorn Glacier

Unable to get your skiing fix this winter? Fear not, as there are some excellent resorts which allow you to shred the slopes even in the middle of summer. My personal recommendation is Kaprun in Austria, as this resort features the breathtaking Kitzeinhorn glacier which is covered in snow ten months of the year and is located a staggering 3,203 metres above sea level.

Kaprun: Perfect for Skiing During Half-Term

It can be harder than expected to successfully merge the kids’ half-term break with great snow. What’s more, you’ll need to find a teen-friendly resort that also has enough variety when it comes to activities and food opportunities that will keep the adults happy. Kaprun, in Austria, is a fantastic resort for those planning on taking their ski holidays earlier than most. The Atmosphere The picturesque Tyrolean village is lively and welcoming, with friendly locals and delightful eateries where you can enjoy traditional Austrian cuisine. Furthermore, it doesn’t have the sort of après ski scene that might put you off

Kaprun’s Amazing Ski-Lifts

Ski-lifts can be many things: for some, they represent the excitement and anticipation of the journey to the top of a mountain, ready for an exhilarating trip down. For others, they may have associations of boredom, queuing and time spent off the slopes. While plenty of them boast impressive views and can be enjoyable in their own right, few are quite so impressive as those of Kaprun. The Mountain Kaprun’s lifts run up the famous Kitzsteinhorn, the imposing 3.2km high Austrian mountain. The mountain is magnificent and the views are peerless, but similarly fascinating are the routes up the mountain.
