So what's it like?

Magnificent lakeside resort with fantastic skiing opportunities

The famous old town of Zell am See, with its collection of medieval buildings, lies on one of Austria's most picturesque lakes. The impressive Schmittenhöhe mountain is easily accessed from the resort centre and is the starting point for long, cruising runs back to Zell. The Europa Sportregion lift pass also covers the neighbouring glacier resort of Kaprun, reached by local ski bus, making the area one of the most snow-sure in Austria.

Ski information

Beginners

Beginners will be well looked after by the local ski school, with the manageable pistes of the Areitalm, above Schuttdorf, and the left hand slopes of the Schmittenhöhe bowl. We recommend buying your lift pass once you arrive in resort if you are a beginner joining ski school.

Intermediates

The widest range of intermediate runs can be found on the Schmittenhöhe, including one superb 8kms descent involving a breathtaking 1,200m vertical drop. Just 25 minutes away by free ski bus, and included on the same lift pass, is Kaprun and the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier, which at over 10,000ft offers guaranteed snow.

Advanced

Advanced skiers can test themselves with a range of challenging runs on the Schmittenhöhe, which boasts 3 reddish blacks through the trees, some fine mogul runs underneath the chairlifts and some superb powder skiing when conditions are favourable.
