Get Out & Have Some Fun
Zell am See
Zell am See, situated on the Zeller lake, is a beautiful affluent Austrian town that has been attracting holidaymakers for centuries. With its unique position on the lake, it gives access to such summer activities as boat excursions, sailing, paddle boating, and many other water-based activities.
The path around the lake is 11 km and makes for a good bike ride or walk, taking in the views of the surrounding mountains and spectacular scenery.
Once your exercise is over, you can relax in one of the many bars and restaurants situated in the town or shop in many of its quaint stores.
Click this link to visit the main Zell am See-Kaprun website for more information.
Kaprun
Kaprun is a small town approximately 20 minutes south of Zell am See. Kaprun is the gateway to the Kitzsteinhorn glacier and offers fantastic year-round skiing and snowboarding. More information can be found here.
Kaprun town itself is beautiful and now boasts one of Austria’s best spa complexes: the Tauern Spa Kaprun, with many indoor/outdoor pools, extensive treatments/massage, and restaurants.
Saalbach Hinterglemm
Approximately 20 minutes’ drive away up the Glemm valley are the alpine towns of Saalbach and Hinterglemm. Although mainly winter playgrounds, as they are both fantastic skiing locations with an extensive lift system, both can be enjoyed in the summer and have great hiking and other activities.
The centers of both Saalbach and Hinterglemm are closed off to cars, making them very quaint and a nice day out.
For more information on Saalbach-Hinterglemm and its many possible activities, follow this link.

Hiking
Whether you want to hike on your own or with a guide, you will find an unbelievable array of hiking trails available in the Zell am See area and the Hohe Tauern National Park.
The two main mountains in the immediate vicinity – the Schmittenhöhe and the Kitzsteinhorn – offer a combined hiking and bathing ticket. These are available from the base station of the Areitbahn cable car and allow unlimited use of the cable cars on either mountain, plus free access to any of the 4 outdoor and 2 indoor pools in Zell am See or Kaprun for 6 days (Tauern Spa not included). The ticket also entitles you to free travel on buses in the Zell am See or Kaprun area.
You can get free trail maps for both mountains, with each route rated according to its difficulty.
Further details to be found on the Zell am See-Kaprun website, the Kitzsteinhorn website, the Schmittenhöhe website or the Hohe Tauern NP website.
Cycling & Mountain Biking
A network of 2,000 km of cycle paths and mountain bike trails criss-crosses the Pinzgau and Zell am See region, of which 550 km are cycle paths through the valleys suitable for families and casual cyclists.
Of these, the most famous is undoubtedly the Tauern Radweg (Tauern Cycle Trail), which allows cyclists to follow the banks of the Salzach river from Krimml to Zell am See and on to Salzburg.
On the family-friendly cycle network, you can make your way down clearly marked cycle paths, safe from busy traffic, along crystal-clear streams, and through tranquil villages.
There is a narrow gauge railway running from Zell am See to Krimml – the Pinzgau Lokalbahn – that pulls a special bike carriage in the summer (from the end of April to the beginning of October). This allows you to take your bike to Krimml to start your ride or bring you home if you do not want to cycle the whole way. You can find the Zell am See start/end station at the main train station in town.
Further details of the cycle routes can be found on the Tauern Radweg website and on Radwandern.com.
Golf
Zell am See-Kaprun has a golf club that offers two excellent 18-hole courses. A bit further out, you can also play at GC Urslautal (Maria Alm), GC Gut Brandlhof (Saalfelden), and GC Mittersill (Mittersill).
The Golf Alpin Card (available at any of the golf clubs mentioned or through the internet) offers the opportunity to play at these (and 23 other Salzburg and Tyrol clubs) at reduced prices. There are two types of Golf Alpin Cards: one with 5 green fees or one with 3 green fees.
More information can be found on their website.
Please observe the possible handicap requirements of individual clubs.
Fishing
About an hour’s drive from Zell am See are the rivers Saalach and Saalach, which not only yield trout but also some grayling. You can also try your hand at lake fishing when visiting Zell am See, and guides can be hired upon request.
Hiring a guide might be a good idea as they will know exactly where to take you. It could save you a whole lot of time, and since you have to pay for a fishing license in Austria, you probably don’t want to fuss around looking for a good spot when you could be fishing.
Tourist fishing licenses as well as equipment can be obtained from Sport Achleitner, Gasthof Seewirt, and Hotel Bellevue.

Must See & Do
Skiing & Snowboarding
The obvious premier skiing/boarding areas of Zell am See are the slopes of either the Kitzsteinhorn with its glacier or the Schmittenhöhe. Access to Saalbach Hinterglemm for skiing is now easier with the opening of the Zell am See Express lift and run, taking you directly into the Saalbach valley. At the bottom, a short regular bus ride takes you to Saalbach, but it is now possible to ski back to Zell. We await the fully connected lift system linking both resorts. A 20-minute drive northwest takes you to the amazing ski circus of Saalbach Hinterglemm, while a short 25-minute drive to the west brings you to the Panoramabahn in Mittersill/Hollersbach or Pass Thurn, your entry point for the Kitzbühler Alpen, famous for the Hahnenkamm race.
There are plenty of ski schools to choose from, but if you are a beginner, we recommend you pick a school in Zell am See which offers lessons at the Schmittenhöhe.
Snowshoeing
You might consider leaving the skis behind for a day and trying out snowshoeing. This winter hiking method takes you away from the ski slopes and the summer trails, and lets you experience nature in a new way. Guided tours are available for the Schmittenhöhe,, as well as in the Hohe Tauern National Park.
Ice skating
When the Zeller lake has frozen over and it is deemed safe to cross, an ice rink is cleared of snow at its northernmost tip. And of course, there is the indoor skating rink at the Hallenbad Zell am See-Kaprun.
Wellness
In 2011, Tauern Spa Kaprun opened its doors. It is one of the best spas in Austria, and we highly recommend it.
It boasts 12 indoor/outdoor pools and a variety of different saunas and steam baths, such as the Finnish sauna, bio sauna, and stove sauna. One very special feature is the salt laconium with a temperature of 55 degrees. In the aromatic steam bath, there are fragrances to relax or invigorate, plus high humidity – utter bliss!
