A more sustainable holiday

The high quality of living in the environment between Lake Zell, with water of excellent quality, protected natural landscapes and forests should be preserved - for all locals as well as for our guests. That's why, for example, all the mountain railways in the region already run on 100% green electricity. Direct train services from numerous European cities straight to the train station in the centre of Zell am See and the Guest Mobility Ticket, which offers all overnight guests access to public transport from 1 May 2025, make it possible to get around without your own car.
