Kaprun High Mountain Reservoirs
Temporarily closedBetween glacier and dam: at the Kaprun high mountain reservoirs, you experience dramatic alpine scenery and modern hydropower up close.
Between eternal ice and towering dam walls, an alpine landscape unfolds at Mooserboden that strikingly combines nature and engineering. High above Kaprun, the Mooserboden and Wasserfallboden reservoirs shimmer amid glaciers and three-thousand-metre peaks.
Here, the power of water becomes tangible. Join a guided tour inside the dam or power station and discover how hydropower is generated in this extraordinary setting. Even the ascent – including the Lärchwand inclined lift – hints at how remarkable this place truly is.
Families explore “STROMI’s” interactive lakeside trail, perfect for curious young minds. Hikers enjoy panoramic paths with views of glaciers and summits or set off on more demanding mountain tours. For a touch of adventure, tackle the via ferrata on the dam wall or glide across the scenery on the Flying Fox.
A destination where raw alpine forces and human ingenuity meet – and you are right at the heart of it.
