Kapron: Ski Touring, Tobogganing and Alpine Farming

The ski tour to Mittereck starts in Kapron, and the Three Alpine Pastures Tour passes through a larch forest on the return journey to Kapron. The tobogganing tour on Ochsenberg begins with a hike through a snow-covered spruce forest to the St. Wendelin Chapel. This gives you three different activities to plan: a ski tour, a hike before tobogganing, and a cycling tour. The Pedross/Kapron stop is also listed in the timetable for bus route 276.

Ski Tour to Mittereck

The ski tour to Mittereck starts at the Perwag farmstead in Kapron. Mittereck is a peak in the Vallelunga valley in the Vinschgau. From Perwag, the route first heads east along a trail and then south to Ochsenberg Alm. There are three reference points to help you find your way: the summit of Mittereck, the starting point at Perwag, and the sequence of directions leading to the alpine pasture.

Tobogganing Tour on Ochsenberg

There is a natural toboggan run on Ochsenberg. The tobogganing tour begins with a hike through a snow-covered spruce forest to the St. Wendelin Chapel; tobogganing comes afterward. This change of activity is important when planning: the hike to the chapel is part of the route before you go tobogganing. This makes it easy to distinguish the ski tour from a tobogganing tour that starts with a walk.

Three Alpine Pastures Cycling Tour

The Three Alpine Pastures Tour follows a crossroad in the direction of Kaproner Alm. On the return journey, the route passes through a larch forest to Kapron. The cycling tour therefore has two reference points: the section heading toward Kaproner Alm and the return journey to Kapron. Compared with the winter activities, you can make cycling and the return route through the larch forest the focus of your trip planning.

Alpine Farming and Goat Cheese

Around 120 goats are milked twice a day at Ochsenberg Alm. Their milk is taken to Kaproner Alm, where cheesemaker Sepp Ladurner turns it into goat cheese. The production process has two steps at the respective alpine pastures: milking at Ochsenberg Alm and cheesemaking at Kaproner Alm. For travelers interested in alpine farming as well as tours, this process is a distinct local feature.

Bus Timetable for Trip Planning

The timetable for bus route 276, which connects Langtaufers, Graun and Reschen, lists the Pedross/Kapron stop. It is valid from December 14, 2025, to December 12, 2026. Check the timetable for your travel date before setting off, especially if your trip is after December 12, 2026. The exact stop name, Pedross/Kapron, is useful when searching the timetable.

Find a Hotel in Kapron

If you are looking for a hotel for a trip to Kapron, first decide what you want to focus on during your stay: the ski tour, tobogganing after a hike, the cycling tour, or your interest in alpine farming. The activities differ in how you get around and how they unfold; the timetable information adds a specific stop and a limited validity period to your planning.
