Into the middle of the Schmittenhöhe hiking area or onto the Kitzsteinhorn to climb the first 3,000-metre-high mountain of your life? Both can be done with the Zell am See-Kaprun Summer Card. Taking you comfortably to your hiking paradise between glacier, mountain and lake, the cable cars are included with an overnight stay at a partner accommodation. The summit tour on the Kitzsteinhorn is a bonus partner of the Summer Card.
Take the cable car uphill to the mountain for a hike, go on a trip to the dam wall or enjoy the view from the panorama platform at over 3,000 metres above sea level: with the Zell am See-Kaprun Summer Card, you can enjoy all of this. This card is your key to unforgettable experiences in summer.
Why Zell am See-Kaprun? Because:
With all its included services and benefits, the Zell am See-Kaprun Summer Card provides you with even more sports opportunities: the gondola takes you comfortably to the starting point of the hiking and trail running routes, exciting sports courses and services can be used at reduced rates at the sports bonus partners, and for swim training or relaxation in between, you can go to the lidos on crystal-clear Lake Zell. So, you can enjoy your active holiday with numerous benefits.
The Guest Mobility Ticket is also included in your overnight stay at a Summer Card partner accommodation. With this ticket, you can use all buses and trains in the federal state of Salzburg, thus you can leave your car at home. Whether it's to the starting point of your hiking route or to the lake for stand-up paddling: all places are easy to reach with the region's public transport.
The region's local mountains - Schmittenhöhe, Kitzsteinhorn with its glacier and Maiskogel - offer a wealth of unforgettable experiences. Get enchanted by the view from the panoramic platforms "Top of Salzburg" or "Kaiserblick". The family hike through "Schmidolin's" world of adventure will make children happy. And the Sigmund Thun Gorge as well as the high mountain reservoirs will take you into a fascinating and amazing world of water.
Experience all seasons in different climatic zones in one day - this is only possible in Zell am See-Kaprun. Whizz across the glacier snow at 3,000 m above sea level in the Ice Arena on the Kitzsteinhorn in the morning, marvel at the panorama from the Schmittenhöhe with its flowering meadows and green forests in the afternoon. And to cool down in between: Lake Zell with its excellent water quality - perfect for relaxed days of swimming and that beach feeling in the middle of the Alps. And all of this in just one region and only a stone's throw away from each other.
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, make it possible to get around without your own car.
