Kaprun is a small alpine town in the Pinzgau district of Land Salzburg in Austria. At the foot of the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier, at 47°16′21″N, 12°45′34″E, it is a winter-sports centre with a population of 2,903 (2001). The town is also known for its power plant, construction of which began during World War II and was finished after the war was over. In 2000, it was the site of the Kaprun disaster, in which 155 skiers lost their lives in a tunnel fire.
The Kitzsteinhorn ski area is accessed by the Gletscherbahn 1 aerial tramway, which has the tallest cable car support tower in the world. Gletscherbahn 2 was a funicular railway with two carriages, which has not reopened since the Kaprun disaster.
