Berghotel Schmittenhöhe

inn
Zell am See

We would like to introduce you to our Berghotel Schmittenhöhe (2,000m) and offer you the opportunity to spend the night in a unique ambience and an "imperial" location high above Lake Zell. Just as Emperor Franz Josef I wanted to spend the night in 1893, we will do our best to pamper you too.

Float with our gondola lift from Zell am See directly to the mountain hotel on the Schmittenhöhe (2000m) and be the protagonist of a scenery between absolute peace, fresh air and unique moments of pleasure for mind and senses. And yes, the ascent and descent, the use of other lifts on the mountain and the crossing on Lake Zell with our boat trip are included in the hotel summer price. You only have to be at the valley station at 16:30, then you can easily catch the last gondola directly to the hotel. As soon as you arrive, you can make the most of the 330m² wellness area and treat your body and soul to some time out.

Unique to the hotel's surroundings is the 360° view that sweeps between the Watzmann and the Berchtesgaden Alps, the Dachstein massif and the Niedere Tauern, the Hohe Tauern with the Grossglockner and the Kitzsteinhorn right in front of your nose and the Zillertal Alps and the Wilder Kaiser to the west. Imagine you are the center of this scenario, directly on the Schmittenhöhe, at almost 2,000m above sea level.

Empress Sisi became aware of the Schmittenhöhe back in 1885 in her quest for adventure and hiked from Zell am See to the mountain hotel one night in the middle of August that year. Once there, she experienced the unique sunrise on the Schmittenhöhe and was amazed by the unique view. Today, the Sisi Chapel right next to the hotel commemorates this event. It is often used as a wedding chapel.

We will provide you with very individual culinary delights at the hotel. Even breakfast - a Bergsteiger breakfast - includes a buffet-style offer, in the evening you dine according to a selection from our menu and virtually put together your own menu. A varied program of musical entertainment during the day, the fresh smell of Kaiserschmarrn from our kitchen in the Viennese coffee house and the culinary competition between Tyrolean and Salzburg bacon paint a picture of the best products from Austria. That is our credo: we want to offer you the best that Austria has to offer.
