Zell am Ziller, Austria

Zell am Ziller Austria

It is the highest mountain in the Kaprun area at 3,203 meters, and the key element that shapes the character of this place. It is considered the “top of Salzburg,” the region where it is located. Thanks to this glacier, Zell am See has snow all year round, and this is its main economic driver. Access is free if you have the Zell am See card, which you receive at no cost when you stay in the area. You need to take three cable cars from a station about 6 km from Kaprun, and it takes around half an hour from town. Once at the top you’ll have magnificent views and can also enjoy excellent restaurants with spectacular scenery all along the way. It’s a perfect blend of sports and culinary experiences. For skiing, there are top-quality runs for all levels, very well connected by a network of lifts across the area. It’s worth reaching the highest point to experience the “Top of Salzburg,” with superb views over Hohe Tauern National Park. You can go up just to visit and enjoy the views, even if you don’t ski.
