Zell am See

Experience unlimited adventures at a beautiful Alpine lake

Only a few kilometres from Kaprun is the district capital, Zell am See, between the majestic Schmittenhöhe Mountain and the picturesque Lake Zell. Without a doubt Zell am See is one of the most beautiful mountain towns of the Alps with a unique Alpine flair.

The roots of the city of 10,000 inhabitants reach back to the Bronze Age and the rich history of the beautiful town is tangible in the pedestrianized area of the town centre.

Indulge in the beauty of the Alpine landscape and let the unique magic of Zell am See enchant you during a leisurely stroll through picturesque alleys or along the lakeside promenade. We especially recommend, as an unforgettable highlight of your perfect holidays in Austria, a cruise on Lake Zell with a unique panoramic view of the surrounding mountains that reach an altitude of more than 3,000 metres above sea level – such as Kitzsteinhorn Mountain in Kaprun.
