Unique combination of glacier, mountain & lake

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.

A more sustainable holiday

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.
