About Zell am See

Zell am See is a unique spot in the Austrian Alps. Lively and welcoming, the lakeside town contrasts with most of the smaller skiing alpine villages for its "civilized" comfort and plenty of entertaining opportunities. The town is situated at a splendid lakeside, extremely adorable in summer, but gaining special charm when immersed in the snow. After the construction of the tunnel was finished, the heavy traffic has been now re-directed and Zell am See is calmer and peaceful. Due to the low altitude and especially to the lakeside position, Zell does not have a very long snow season. Still, it offers perfect conditions for initiating skiers - varied and gentle slopes for beginners to learn and great skiing school to train them.

The resort is situated just few moments away from Kaprun and the Glacier where a lot of black runs and off-piste are at the disposal of skiing freaks to enjoy - including the hair-raising Kamikaze racing run. Same for boarders, with beginner opportunities in Zell and plenty of advanced areas nearby for experts. In fact, being part of the Europe Sport Region, Zell am See gives direct access to 130 km of varied skiing area including some of the best runs in Austria.
