WHY ZELL AM SEE-KAPRUN? BECAUSE:

Freeride hotspot in the Alps

Top freestyle setup
The five snow parks on the Kitzsteinhorn, with kickers, rails and boxes, offer diverse setups for beginners as well as experts and pros. This is also where the world's best freestylers regularly prepare for international competitions. There are more snow parks for beginners and even for kids on the Schmittenhöhe as well as on the Maiskogel.

Winter sports variety for everyone
Between glacier, mountain and lake, almost anything is possible in terms of activity: top pistes, freeride routes close to the lifts and diverse ski tours ensure sporty enthusiasm. Snow parks, winter hiking trails, snowshoe tours and cross-country ski tracks in the valley and on the mountain make your active holiday even more enjoyable.
Tip: Did you know that Zell am See-Kaprun has its own ski touring mountain? The Ronachkopf, without a mountain railway, is reserved exclusively for ski tourers and winter hikers.

Unique combination of glacier, mountain & lake
Skiing across wide glacier slopes at 3,000 metres above sea level in natural snow on the Kitzsteinhorn or experiencing winter fun with the whole family on perfectly groomed pistes on the Schmittenhöhe. A romantic walk along the wintry shores of Lake Zell and shopping in town beckon after the skiing fun.

Pure Alpine delight
In Zell am See-Kaprun, guests are treated to culinary delights in every way. Enjoy traditional classics at the quaint mountain huts or first-class cuisine at eight Gault Millau Toque award-winning restaurants, among others.
And the enjoyment continues in form of relaxation and recreation: at the Tauern SPA thermal spa & wellness oasis.

Spectacular excursion destinations
In addition to numerous sporty winter activities, Zell am See-Kaprun also offers a wide range of excursion destinations for the whole family. How about TOP OF SALZBURG, for example? The viewing platform at 3,029 m above sea level is a unique experience - cinema and National Park Gallery included. Museums for all age groups take you on a journey through time, and the Maisi Flitzer toboggan run provides action all year round.

Naturally sustainable
Since the opening of the mountain railways, a lot has happened in the region in terms of tourism, but the most important thing has never been overlooked: Nature in all its beauty and fragility. To this day, great importance is attached to the highest quality of life in order to protect Lake Zell, with its excellent water quality, as well as the natural landscapes and forests, and to preserve an environment worth living in.
