Summer holiday in Zell am See

A summer holiday in Zell am See-Kaprun offers one thing above all: lots of variety! Fancy mountain adventures with fantastic views? Discover panoramic peaks and rustic alpine huts across hundreds of kilometres of hiking trails. Mountain bikers, racing cyclists and gravel bikers will also find numerous tours from the valley floor to high up in the mountains. On hot days, take a refreshing dip in Lake Zell – take a swim or try one of the many water sports. Zell am See-Kaprun is also known for its many exceptional excursion destinations, such as the Schmittenhöhe, the Kitzsteinhorn, the Sigmund Thun Gorge and the high mountain reservoirs in Kaprun.

Zell am See

A lake full of possibilities

Boat trip and lido on lake Zell

The House and The Gast House are located in a prime location on the shores of Lake Zell, a short walk from the lake. There is a lido right in Zell am See. This is also where boat trips across Lake Zell set off from, offering a completely different view of Zell am See, its historic old town and the alpine mountain landscape. Stand-up paddling, sailing and surfing are also popular water sports in summer. A very special experience in the summer season is the ‘Zeller Seezauber’; every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday the lake is transformed into a magical stage. The 20-minute water show is a magical combination of water, light, music and lasers.
