Set on the shores of a large freshwater lake, Zell am See must be a contender for the most beautiful resort in Austria. The lake is stunning all year round, and in the winter the glacial peak of the Kitzsteinhorn and the surrounding Hohe Tauern range creates an incredible, ice-white backdrop.
The village itself is equally beautiful, with an attractive and atmospheric old town centred around a Gothic church, and filled with charming boutiques, restaurants serving traditional Austrian fare and, inevitably, some excellent après ski bars. The lift pass for Zell am See offers access to Kaprun, creating one of the largest ski areas anywhere in the country, with an incredible 400 km of pistes accessible.
T
Zell am See's local ski hill is the Schmittenhohe, a densely forested horseshoe-shaped mountain that rises directly behind the town and up from the lakeshore, its slopes sweeping down to a base area just a couple of streets away from the heart of the old town at one end and the railway station at the other.
Away from the ski slopes, Zell am See's principal attractions are its beautiful lakeside setting and its charming old-town, which offers a great choice of restaurants and café-bars and retail therapists; the resort is well-connected too, linked by railway with Salzburg and a number of other regional towns and resorts.
Most of the central and lakeside areas are on level ground, ideal for strolling; the lakeside esplanade in particular is a very pleasant place for a walk. The town has a modern leisure centre with a heated indoor swimming pool with diving boards, water slide, and children's splash area, indoor & outdoor saunas and steam room, plus a full-sized ice rink.
Après ski in the mountain bars and in the town is typically Austrian, often featuring live bands. Kick off at the SchnapsHans-Alm on the terrace of the Berghotel on the summit of the Schmittenhohe ; when you're done there, a short ski down brings you to the Breiteckalm for more of the same. In town the Off Piste bar and Villa Crazy Daisy are well-established favourites.
Nightlife is very lively too, with a wide choice of pubs, bars, and various late-night music venues, yet because this is such a sizeable resort town there are plenty of quieter corners and many more-sophisticated venues too.
We will be staying at the Hotel Neue Post (4 star).
