Valley run straight into town Winter holidays in Zell am See
The ski slopes, old town and lake are only minutes apart. Skiing on the Schmittenhöhe comes with wonderful panoramic views across Lake Zell and the surrounding peaks. And just a short journey away, the Kitzsteinhorn glacier ski area in Kaprun offers skiing well into spring.
In winter, the little town of Zell am See has a charm all of its own. Snow-covered walking paths follow the lakeshore, cosy cafés offer a warm place to stop, and the old town stays lively with its little shops and restaurants. During Advent, the Christmas market brings an extra touch of magic, with beautifully decorated stalls and the inviting scent of hot punch filling the air.
Whether you spend the day skiing, exploring winter walking trails or simply relaxing by the lake, the mountains are never far away in Zell am See. And neither is the next cosy spot to settle into.
Between a mountain tour and a jump into the lake Summer holidays in Zell am See
Enjoy the mountain views in the morning and dive into the lake in the afternoon? In Zell am See, that's all part of a summer's day. Surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery, Lake Zell is a wonderful place for swimming, sailing, stand-up paddleboarding or a leisurely boat trip. Along its shores, you'll find lakeside lidos, walking paths and lovely spots to simply soak up the sunshine.
If you're in the mood to head higher, take the cable car up to the Schmittenhöhe. From there, hiking trails lead across green alpine meadows towards scenic summits. There's plenty for cyclists, too, whether it's a relaxed ride around the lake or a longer trip along the Tauern Cycle Path.
Back in the valley, the lively old town is full of little shops, cafés and restaurants. In summer, events such as the Zeller Seefest and the traditional Wednesday festivals bring music and a cheerful atmosphere to the streets. It's a lovely way to round off a day spent between the mountains and the water.
