About Zell am See

Zell am See is a picturesque lakeside town at 757m on the shores of the Zeller See, combining an attractive medieval old town with direct access to 138km of skiing across the Schmittenhöhe mountain — and, via a shared lift pass, the high-altitude Kitzsteinhorn glacier at Kaprun. The town's setting on the lake, surrounded by the peaks of the Hohe Tauern range, creates one of the most scenic resort environments in Austria, and the blend of lake, glacier, and town activity makes it a genuinely versatile destination for families and mixed-ability groups who want more than just skiing.
