Use of public transport with the Guest Mobility Ticket
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.

Spectacular excursion destinations in nature
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 platform "Top of Salzburg". 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.
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
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.
