Key Information for a Ski Holiday in Zell am See 

With so much to see and do in Zell am See, it makes sense to have a breakdown of everything that's on offer. Here is a brief guide to get the most out of your ski holiday in this Austrian winter paradise.  

1. What's the skiing like?

   While the resort does offer something for every level of skiers, particularly now that another 167.7 miles (270 kilometres) of slopes have become easily accessible with the creation of a new gondola connection, Zell am See is at its best for family groups and intermediates. Other highlights include a chance to ski under the stars thanks to a floodlit piste that is open on several nights during the week. The Sonnenalm, or 'Sun Mountain', is a great choice for newcomers and intermediate levels, offering manageable slopes and the added benefit of a chance to video your performance on two standing cameras!

2. What to do other than skiing?

Sightseers will fall in love with the Romanesque stylings of the old town centre complete with an ancient church that has a tower stretching 36 meters into the clear sky. The Kitzsteinhorn glacier summit station allows you to step out on to a suspended platform to catch some seriously staggering views. If you're looking for a spectacle, a trip to see the local ice hockey team play should provide the thrills and spills of the slope without the risk!

3. Where to eat?

   Looking for dinner with a view? You've come to the right place.
