ZELL AM SEE, AUSTRIA SKI & SNOWBOARD HOLIDAYS

The skiing and snowboarding in the Zell am See - Kaprun ski region is diverse and has a good deal going for it. The combined Zell am See - Kaprun ski region reaches to over 3000m on the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier where snow is guaranteed and the wide and gentle slopes are ideal for intermediates skiers and snowboarders. Heading back toward Zell am See is the Maiskogel ski area that is located above Kaprun and is an ideal beginner and family ski area. The tree lined ski pistes are nearly all gentle on the Maiskogel. Then above Zell am See itself is the Schmittenhohe ski area that is lift linked from Zell am See and has ski pistes running back into the ski holiday resort. The Schmittenhohe ski area at Zell am See is probably the most diverse ski area in the Zell am See - Kaprun region with steep blacks, a good number of reds and some gentle blue ski pistes from the Schmittenhohe. The views from the Schmittenhohe / Zell am See ski area are sensational with glaciers all over the horizon and Lake Zeller down in the valley.
