Holidays by land and sea
Take a boat trip on Lake Zell for mountain views. Choose from four boats, like the 1947 Libelle or 255-seater MS Schmittenhöhe, with panoramic windows and wheelchair access for a relaxing experience.
Museum Vogtturm, in a six-storey medieval tower, showcases Zell am See’s history with interactive exhibits. See Bronze-Age swords, a wooden canoe and explore the building on a guided tour.
1965-metre-high Schmittenhöhe is a perfect destination for skiing, but also for activities like winter hiking and snowshoeing. Schmittenhöhe certainly deserves its nickname of Panorama Mountain, and exploring it at a slower place means you can freely stop to admire the views of Lake Zell.
Tauern Spa is a perfect après-ski spot, with saunas, steam rooms, saltwater pools and spa treatments. Its kid-friendly water park area makes it an ideal break for all ages after a day on the slopes.
