Destination Guides - Zell Am See ski holidays

Zell Am See

Zell Am See is found on the shores of Lake Zell in Austria, an historic town which offers a great winter destination for both skiers and non-skiers. It is a very pleasant town and as part of the Europa Sports region it provides one hundred and thirty eight kilometres of pistes. This includes the runs on the Kitzsteinhorn and Kaprun Maiskogel. Ski passes cover the whole area including transport to the glacier. This is an important factor as the resort sits at an altitude of seven hundred and sixty metres so snow can at times be sparse at lower levels. The highest lift is over three thousand metres and there is always snow on the glacier. The pistes of Zell Am See cater for all ability levels and there is a snow park for boarders. There are over fifty kilometres of cross country trails.

The Zel Am See ski season opens in mid December and closes at the end of March. Lying at a low altitude, the resort has snow making facilities over ninety percent of its pistes. The historic centre offers a pleasant break for those with non-skiers in their party as there is much to see and do. The summer season brings an influx of visitors as it is popular with climbers, mountain bikers and hill walkers. It also attracts those who enjoy water activities on the lake. Many regional airports have direct flights to Munich and Salzburg which have a transfer times of almost three hours and ninety minutes respectively.
