Cobbled streets, mountain peaks and an alpine lake on the doorstep – holidays to Zell am See have the lot.
Outdoor days
Make the most of the shining Lake Zell on your doorstep – you can stroll around the lake itself in about 3 hours, or spend a day down by water at the Standbad lido. There's all kinds of things to do there, like taking a dip or trying stand-up paddleboarding – and there’s a grassy bathing lawn if you fancy lying back and losing yourself in a good book. Away from the lake, days outdoors in Zell are all about the mountains. You can catch summer lifts up for some seriously great views, plus there's over 400km of trails to pick from, whether you fancy strolling through an alpine meadow, or hiking to mountain summits. Or swap two feet for two wheels and hop on a mountain bike or e-bike instead.
Old Town exploring
Zell’s the perfect spot for some boutique browsing and street strolling – with a coffee stop along the way of course. In the centre is the Medieval main square, with the stone tower of the church at one corner and a bubbling fountain in the middle. Canopied-covered cafés spill out onto the flagstones here, so take a seat and munch on strudel as you watch the world go by. Then afterwards, potter down side streets and pick up a keepsake or two in the souvenir shops.
Top-notch trips
Want to tick off some of Salzburgerland’s best bits? There’s no better place to base yourself than Zell. It’s cameras at the ready as you follow winding alpine roads on a trip to see the summit of Austria’s highest peak, Großglockner. Nearby, you’ve also got the impressive Krimml waterfalls, which tumble over 380m from top to bottom – the biggest drop in the country. And you can’t forget the region’s capital, Salzburg. Catch a train from town and you can be filling up on history and culture in the home of Mozart in less than two hours.
