This is a really nice place to visit, it did not matter what the weather was like it was still stunning. The little town by the lake is very quaint, clean and easy to get around. There are good pathways around the lake, perfect for cycling and walking. We went to the nearby town of Kaprun and found one of... More

The title should probably say it all but trust me when I say that the beautiful little town of Zell is just that-heaven. It's not just about the fantastic skiing at the Schmittenhoe or on the nearby glacier at Kaprun-it's so much more... Quaint little inns, the enchanting lake, killer views and crisp mountain air, cosy coffee shops and lively... More

I’ve been there together with my family for four days and it was one of the greatest sites ever for family and leisure . This small and beautiful town has dozen of natural sites around it and all are accessible via different means of transportation. Any hotel or information center could provide you with a booklet containing all the places... More

Most of the town streets are cozy, walking zones and reflect history and culture. Everywhere is clean and fresh. The lakes districts are breathtaking with long corniche walks. Camera and walking shoes are a must! What was so enjoyable was the mornings with cool breeze and walk to side coffee outlets to the lakes, enjoying a light bite with tea... More

We visited A bit of Irish, bitte and returned every night, taking friends we met along the way. Julie & Declan are fantastic hosts and the non-smoking bar is fun, welcoming and central, so no driving if you are staying in Zell am See. A little bit of Irish magic in Austria! thanks guys Carol & Mike More

Zell Am See was a beautiful town. I would like to return in the warmer weather. There is so much history in this area, I wish I had time to visit more. The people were very very nice and extremely attractive. The town was very Catholic-friendly. The one and only draw back is the fact that so many people smoke... More

We were visiting Zell am see on June 25th. It was a beautiful sunny day which we spent walking around the Schmittenhoehe peak. In the late afternoon we sat in the Lebzelter gasthof for a coffee and cake, in the center of Zell am See. Suddenly a thunder shower arrived and the rain was so hard that the small street... More
