Zell am See ski hotels and holiday packages

So tell me about it...

Zell am See is a small town on the shores of Lake Zell with a car-free centre.  Zell offers year round skiing thanks to its bus link to the glacier of neigbouring Kaprun.  The resort has pretty, tree-lined slopes with great views down to the lake.

Zell am See's 80km of trails are largely located on the Schmittenhohe mountain behind the town.  There are various access points to the area, but most people staying in central Zell will take the gondola, the base of which is a few minutes away. 

Most people will wish to visit Kaprun's glacier. This is accessed by a ski bus which runs every 20 minutes in high season and once an hour during other periods.  Journey time is around 30 minutes! Zell am See is well suited to boarders. There is a half-pipe on Schmittenhohe and a terrain park on the Kaprun glacier. The cross-country is excellent if snow allows.

Intermediates will enjoy the resort's skiing the most with more than 50km of red and blue runs including and 8km/5 mile trail, the Schutt. Expert skiers have several long medium-steep blacks descending through the forest back down to the resort to enjoy, severally usually mogulled. There are also good off-piste possibilities. There are small nursery slopes at the cable car area and at Schüttdorf, both covered by snow guns.
