Kaprun is your ideal location to source your camp lodging with various options available on such sites as Airbnb and booking.com Being in Kaprun means that you have quick and easy access up the Maiskogel lift and onwards to the glacier each day but also allows you to enjoy evenings socials with others.
Alternatively Zell am See can be a viable option for accommodation with easy bus links to Kaprun and the lift system to the glacier. If staying in Zell just make sure that you take note of the bus timetable if you do not have access to a car.
SIA is based in Kaprun and we are lucky enough to have the incredible Kitsteinhorn glacier on our doorstep. Unless stated otherwise – or weather conditions force us to relocate – all camps take place on the glacier where we are blessed with fantastic terrain and reliable conditions due to the high altitude.

The course was outstanding, the teaching level was unbeatable, the location was superb and the instructors and people that are part of the SIA team are remarkable… I wish I could do it all over again!
Absolutely life changing! When I first arrived I was quite unsure of what to expect, coming from a small town in the UK and feeling really nervous. The course exceeded anything I could of ever dreamed of; meeting what are now my best friends and spending 3 months living the ski dream!
The coaches and examiners are second to none, offering the best advice and guidance (special shout outs to Jamie, Anne and Martin!) And to top it all off, I am now a Landes 1 Lehrer! If you are looking to be a ski instructor, choose SIA!
In my opinion SIA is your only choice to become a ski instructor. For me, it was difficult to chose between all the different schools but I have never regretted the decision to choose SIA. The course was very well planned, organised and worth every dollar I paid for it.
