Winter Sports Nature Nightlife
Despite its small size, Zell am See is a well-visited tourist destination known mostly as a ski resort town, and it serves as an important transportation hub for the region. In winter, the town serves runs catering to all levels of skiers and snowboarders. The warm summers provide great conditions for hiking, mountain biking, golfing, cycling, swimming, and paragliding in the lakeside town. The town's compact center of wooden chalets sits near a glacial mountain lake, and the nearby town of Kaprun is world famous for glacier skiing. Zell am See is in Salzburg Region.

Where to stay in Zell am See

©
Zell am See has at its heart a massive and beautifully calm lake and attracts a big tourist crowd all through the year. For lower prices, look for rooms in pensions or accommodations outside of the resort town. Otherwise, upscale hotels line the lake, offering rooms with panoramic views. Most hotel prices include breakfast, but can provide a discount if you opt out.
