Hotel in top location in Zell am See for your activities
VAYA Zell am See is the ideal hotel for your holiday in the Salzburg Alps. Because of its location directly at the Schmitten cable car, the hotel is the perfect starting point for your hiking holiday or your biking adventure in summer. The hotel’s location is also convincing in winter: what some know as ski-in, ski-out is for others a hotel directly on the slopes.
Our resort in Zell am See covers both of these aspects: the ski slope runs right next to the hotel, making it a convincing choice for ski-in/ski-out in the Zell am See ski area. You can easily store your ski equipment in the ski room of the hotel in Zell am See. In summer, the room offers you enough space to park your bike.
So unforgettable winter sports and summer experiences await you amidst breathtaking mountain scenery, green alpine meadows, and a diverse selection of activities for the whole family.
