Zell Am See, Ski-Piste-Map

Superb, varied skiing, with the Kitzsteinhorn glacier ensuring guaranteed snow

The Zell am See-Kaprun ski area is most famously known for the Schmittenhöhe mountain in Zell am See and the Kitzsteinhorn glacier at nearby Kaprun which are conveniently linked by a free ski bus. The new Glacier Jet 3 & 4 lifts open up new ski runs on the Glacier, ideal for intermediate to advanced skiers. Zell’s pedestrianised town centre is perched on the edge of Lake Zell and the atmosphere is boosted by regular music events, markets and festivals. Families are well catered for with a dedicated kid’s slope on the Schmittenhöhe in Zell featuring a combination of obstacles, tunnels and slalom course, and Kaprun’s Maiskogel mountain which is home to wide open, gentle slopes for learning and special kids’ meals at local restaurants.

Our favourite run

'In Zell am See, I love the Panorama / Trassabfahrt, from top of the Schmittenhöhe cable-car all the way down. Scenic tree-lined scenery and wonderful views over the lake.' (Jodie Perkins, Assistant Product Manager Austria)
