We recommend you pack up your warm winter gear for Kaprun in December. If you have insulated boots, thermal layers, and a heavy winter coat that can handle snow and freezing temperatures it's smart to bring them. Don't forget gloves, a warm hat, and a scarf. High rain levels are expected, so pack waterproof gear and an umbrella or poncho. Expect water temperatures of around 4°C (39°F), which is definitely too cold for comfortable swimming. Your luggage space is better used for other items. You can probably leave your sunglasses at home, because sunny days are pretty rare this month.
