Skiing somewhere else this trip? The Zell am See–Kaprun area has eight other ski resorts besides Kitzsteinhorn/Maiskogel.
The Kitzsteinhorn is the glacier above Kaprun and the reason the season here runs longer than anywhere else in the region. The Maiskogel below it connects the village to the glacier lifts, so you can start from Kaprun itself rather than driving up to a car park.

About 15 km, roughly 19 minutes via Kaprun. The Maiskogel gondola starts from the edge of the village and connects up to the glacier, so you can leave the car at the bottom.
Around 79 marked runs totalling about 46 km, with the widest vertical range in the region — 765 m in the valley to 3,024 m on the glacier. Roughly 21 lifts serve it, including a funicular and a cable car.
The lower Maiskogel side is fine for it, with five novice runs and 16 km graded easy. The glacier itself is more exposed and better suited to skiers who are already comfortable in changeable conditions.
Intersport sits closest to the valley station, with Bründl Sports, Moreau and Hervis in and around Kaprun. All are pinned on the map above.
