Pension Baranekhof
A quiet Kaprun pension where every window frames the mountains
A place to stay in Kaprun
Pension Baranekhof sits just outside the village of Kaprun, in Austria's Hohe Tauern region. It's a 3-star property with a simple pitch: clean rooms, mountain and garden views from every window, and breakfast each morning. Five room types range from a single room at €128 to an 80 m² three-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen and balcony. There's free parking on site, a fitness center, ski storage for winter guests, and a garden with a terrace, sun deck and barbecue area. Guests rate it 9.1/10 across 679 reviews.
Who it's a good fit for
A straightforward, family-run-feeling pension with small but well-kept rooms, a good breakfast, and mountain views rather than resort frills.
Best for
- skiers who drive to the slopes
- couples wanting a quiet base
- families or groups in the three-bedroom apartment
- self-caterers using the shared kitchen
Less suited to
- travellers who want to walk into Kaprun's centre
- guests after a full-service resort
Just outside the village
The pension stands just outside Kaprun village, with open ground around it instead of neighbouring buildings. Every room looks out on mountains, garden, or both, and the balcony rooms add a river view. It's a car-friendly base rather than a doorstep-in-town one.
Garden, terrace and sun deck
Outside there's a garden with a picnic area, outdoor furniture, barbecue facilities and a sun deck off the terrace. In summer these are the spots for eating outside; in winter the ski storage takes over as the useful space.
Rooms with kitchens and views
Standard rooms are compact at 16 to 18 m², with a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, free wifi and a tea/coffee maker. The three-bedroom apartment is a different scale entirely — 80 m², its own kitchen with dishwasher, and a balcony facing the mountains and river.
Wellness and fitness
The property includes a fitness center and a wellness area, which matters after a day on the slopes in the December-to-April season. It's an unusual amount of facility for a small 3-star pension at this price point.
