Water, in all forms, is an important part of the Zell am See-Kaprun region - as ice and snow on the Kitzsteinhorn glacier, in its coolest and purest form with drinking water quality in the Zeller lake.
You will encounter the element of water in a variety of forms throughout all seasons in the Zell am See-Kaprun region. The Kitzsteinhorn glacier is covered in ice and snow all year, which ensures you can even enjoy winter landscapes in the midst of summer.
In winter you can ice-skate on the frozen lake, wander through snowy forests and speed down sparkling white ski slopes. The glacier offers skiing and snowboarding pleasures of the highest order - ten months a year.
In summer the crystal-clear Zeller lake is the perfect place for swimming and paddling. Swimming in the 24°C warm water of the lake in the midde of the alps is an unique experience. But the drinking water quality lake is also a great location for boating, sailing, diving, fishing and water skiing. Or maybe you prefer a little hike to the Sigmund Thun Gorge or the Alpine reservoirs of Kaprun for a refreshing "cool-down".
During boat trips on the Zeller lake you can enjoy a fresh breeze and some truly spectacular views. Adventure seekers will love an exciting Canyoning expedition. These tours through the wild waterways are, of course, supervised by highly experienced guides.
Close by are the rivers Salzach and Saalach which are great for rafting depending on how much you want to get shaken up.
If you want to experience rivers and canyons as close as possible we suggest you book a canyoning trip! You shouldn't be afraid of water though.
