Zell am See is the tourist centre and district capital of Pinzgau. Surrounded by mighty 3,000 m peaks and gentle hills, the village is located idyllically between the Zell Lake and the Schmittenhöhe mountain. The 6 km long tunnel keeps through-traffic out of the city, allowing you to shop in the pedestrian zone undisturbed. Due to its first-class ski area and great selection of leisure time activities, Zell am See has what it takes for a great Austrian holiday.

For many, Zell am See and Kaprun are the paragon of après ski. A surplus of cosy mountain restaurants and snack spots are an attractive point on a day of skiing. Particularly recommended is the apres ski bar "Schnapps-Hans" on Schmittenhöhe or the rustic-cosy "Pinzgauer Hütte". Numerous après ski bars, pubs and discos in Zell or Kaprun await your visit in the evening. In bars and clubs such as "Karambar", "Crazy Daisy" or "B17", night is guaranteed to turn into day. Many other activities, e.g. tobogganing (night and day), paragliding, ice skating, cross-country or a visit to the pool with sauna supplement your options.
