Zell am See
Holidays in the Salzburg mountains
Together with the neighbouring village of Kaprun, Zell am See forms an action-packed holiday destination. Because here you can carve your turns on the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier in the morning until late in the summer – and in the afternoon you jump into Lake Zell to cool off. Two Leading Golf Courses await you, as well as an extensive hiking and mountain biking paradise. In winter, you can let off some steam in the three ski areas on the Maiskogel, on the Schmittenhöhe and on the Kitzsteinhorn. There are many other Winter sports activities off the slopes to keep you busy and ensure you will have the perfect holiday in the Salzburg mountains.

Winter sports fans can indulge their passion in the three ski areas on the Kitzsteinhorn, the Maiskogel and the Schmittenhöhe – and away from it. In addition to perfectly groomed ski runs, modern lifts, natural toboggan runs, cross-country ski trails as well as idyllic snowshoe and winter hikes await you here. The ICE CAMP on the Kitzsteinhorn is particularly popular as an excursion trip. Lake Zell, which glitters in the sun in winter, is transformed into a breathtakingly beautiful natural ice rink. Book your time-out at the lake.
In summer, the crystal-clear lake offers you a welcome cooling-off. On, in and around it you can enjoy the summer at its best. In addition to water sports, you will experience beautiful hikes, challenging mountain bike freeride trails, horseback riding, rafting, canyoning and culinary highlights in the many alpine huts and mountain inns during your holiday in Zell am See. If you like to play golf, the 36 holes on the flat, park-like grounds of the Zell am See Kaprun Golf Club are made for you.
Our excursion tip
Krimml Waterfalls
From mid-April to the end of October, the imposing Krimml Waterfalls are perfect for a day trip. They are the largest waterfalls in Europe and, with a height of 380 meters, are considered one of the most impressive natural spectacles in the world. Its origin is at the Krimmler Ache, which first flows through about 20 kilometers of flat alpine pastures as a mountain stream before plunging into the depths as a thunderous glacier stream at the end of the valley.
