On the edge of the picturesque Lake Zell, is the bustling town of Zell am See, with pretty streets and lots of shops to explore. Watch a fountain show from Elisabeth Park, or take a boat cruise along the lake, rent a paddleboard or take the children to the lido on the edge of the water to play and swim. There's also plenty to do, and lots of beautiful walking trails, on the Schmittenhöhe mountain - the view from the top is worth the trip and the Franzl hut serves up delicious local food on the panoramic sun terrace.
About Alpinresort ValSaa Adults Only (Saalbach)
The Alpinresort ValSaa Adults Only serves as a premium, adults-only gateway to the mountains. You'll spend less time commuting and more time trekking with the village centre and Schattberg X-press lift just a few minutes' stroll from your door. The hotel balances mountain exploration with deep relaxation, maintaining a peaceful atmosphere by exclusively accepting guests aged 16 and over. It's the perfect place to recharge without any distractions.
After a long day conquering peaks with fantastic views, the huge AlpinSPA is the ideal post-hike retreat. Cool down tired muscles with a dip in the outdoor pool before melting away trail aches in the Sauna World's Finnish and infrared cabins. Bask in the silence of the relaxation rooms or head to the Panorama Lawn to catch some last rays before the sun sets - every little detail ensures your legs are fresh and ready for tomorrow’s adventure.
Don't worry about racing back from the summit just to catch a buffet, as the kitchen keeps food available from sunrise to sunset - plan your meals around your hike, not the other way around. Whether you're fuelling up for a steep ascent or craving a post-peak feast, the restaurant is ready whenever you are.
