The traditional Fish'Inn Zell, formerly the Hotel Fischerwirt, offers a home-from-home atmosphere and friendly personal service. The central town location and wellness facilities make it popular with guests looking to explore Zell am See's incredible ski area.

Central town location

Ideally located on the edge of the central pedestrian area of Zell am See’s medieval old town, the hotel's striking Austrian architecture stands out among other buildings.

You are a short six minute walk to the City Xpress gondola and four minutes' walk to Postplatz bus station.

Wellness options

The hotel's small leisure area with a sauna, infrared cabin and relaxation room is a great place to decompress after a day on the slopes.

If you're looking for more ways to relax, you can use the modern leisure area at the interconnected Romantik Hotel for a local fee. The Romantik's two-story wellness area includes everything you need to relax and rejuvenate including a Finnish sauna, Swiss pine bio sauna, salt team bath, infrared cabin, relaxation lounge, and jacuzzi.

Half board or bed & breakfast

Fish'Inn Zell is available on half board or bed & breakfast so you can choose how you want to spend your ski holiday.

Breakfast is an extensive buffet of hot and cold dishes to start the day off right. Including freshly made bread, homemade jams, local Austrian sausage and an array of cheeses there is something for all appetites.

Half board dinner is taken in the adjoining Romantik Hotel and the food is excellent. The chefs work with fresh regional produce and offer a combination of traditional home-style cooking and international classics. Your four course evening meal has three choices of each course plus a salad buffet.

A 24/7 self-service bar in the hotel lobby makes it easy to grab a nightcap, or pop over the adjoining walk way to the full service bar in the Romantik Hotel.

Skiing in Zell am See offers an exceptional alpine experience, combining breath taking natural beauty with diverse and well-maintained slopes suitable for all skill levels. Nestled in the Austrian Alps, this picturesque town stands out as a premier destination for ski enthusiasts and families alike. Few mountain views are as breath-taking as the sight you are greeted with at the top of the Schmittenhöhe mountain, just above Zell am See. Zell am See's pedestrianised town centre is perched on the edge of Lake Zell and the atmosphere is boosted by regular music events and festivals. The panoramic viewing platform 'Top of Salzburg' is a must with spectacular scenery at 3029m above sea level.

Skiing and snowboarding in Zell am See

The slopes in Zell am See cater to a wide range of skiing abilities, making it a versatile destination for winter sports enthusiasts.

The 138km 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. 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.

With the Alpin Card and the new lifts linking the ski areas, the 77km ski area of Zell am See now links with the extensive 270km of terrain at the Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Ski Circus, giving you access to the vast skiing landscape of Zell am See's neighbouring region. From Schmittenhöhe Mountain (Zell am See) side it is possible to ski down to the middle station, then either take the prepared ski route to the bottom or take the section 1 gondola. Once at the bottom it is a short five minute bus which runs every 20 minutes to Saalbach. On return you can choose to ski back to the Zell connection lift or return on the shuttle bus. Alongside the Schmittenhöhe in Zell am See and the Kitzsteinhorn in Kaprun, the whole Alpin Card area totals 408km of premium varied slopes including 121 lifts.
