Kappl is a picturesque Alpine village nestled in the beautiful Paznaun Valley, in the heart of Tyrol, Austria. Famous for its sunny location and for being an ideal destination for families, Kappl offers an authentic mountain experience, away from the clamor of more worldly resorts like nearby Ischgl. During the winter, it is appreciated for its ski slopes suitable for all levels and its children's ski center, while in the summer it becomes a paradise for hiking and mountain biking. Our travel designers love Kappl for its balance between sport, relaxation, and Alpine tradition.
