Zell am See Travel

Set on the beautiful Zell Lake in Austria, this resort forms part of the exceptional Europa sport region. The stunning setting is in fact one of Zell's biggest selling points, with lovely views of the lake from the medieval town and the slopes above. It also ensures that it is as popular in the summer as it is in the winter. The resort is heaving with non-skiing activities, as well as having a lively nightlife, many decent restaurants and a full range of accommodation. There is something here to suit everyone's needs and pocket.

On the snow, there is fantastic skiing for both intermediates and beginners, and that all-important guaranteed snow all season long. Taken together with its neighbour Kaprun, there is a total of 130km of runs on offer, 80 of which are in Zell itself. Those looking to improve their technique will be ideally placed for the task. Advanced skiers will find some steep slopes to test their skills, along with the local Kitzsteinhorn glacier at Kaprun. There are also extensive cross-country trails in both resorts.
