Holiday happiness in Kauns

Away from the hustle and bustle

A holiday in Kauns is almost a bit like jumping right into the pages of a picture book.

A picturesque village with romantic walks and a small church. Lush green meadows and high mountain peaks. And all around: lots of rest, relaxation, and fresh Tyrolean mountain air.

The mountain air is very pleasant in Austria's Kauns. Due to its sunny location at 1,050 m, this small community benefits from a very mild climate. It's no wonder Kauns is often called 'the second Merano'!
