From Thumersbach to Schüttdorf on skates

The surface of Lake Zell comprises more than 4.5 square kilometres - the perfect place for a journey on ice skates. Let us lure you onto the ice at the sight of this picturesque idyll. Whether you prefer ice skating, ice hockey, or curling: sparkling, frozen Lake Zell between Kitzsteinhorn and Schmittenhöhe invites you to indulge in all kinds of sporting activities and slippery fun. Get out your skates and conquer the ice!

Even if temperatures do not really come up to the ideal of winter for once and the sheet of ice on the lake is still a little too thin, you will find that the ice skating pitch in Kaprun and the ice stadium in Zell am See offer ideal alternatives. Perhaps you will even be so lucky as to encounter the notorious Polar Bears of the region there! The local ice hockey heroes will show you how to do it - they dash across the ice as fast as lightning.

The traditional curling, or 'Eisstockschiessen' as it is called in Austria, also offers a good opportunity for giving free rein to one's play instinct. All along the lake, you can try your hand at getting your own curling stone as close as possible to the tee, the centre of the house. Fun and entertainment are always on the cards in this traditional Alpine sport. In Zell am See-Kaprun, an icy pleasure is waiting for you!
