Area Profile

• An old city of stately buildings, Zell am See is
  a delightful place to stroll in, when you are not
  skiing. The town sits on a mini-peninsula that
  juts into a pretty alpine lake. Above the town is
  the Schmittenhoehe ski area, with 46 miles of
  groomed slopes in open snowfields at the top and
  trails through the trees on lower sections. But
  this is only part of the attraction. Zell is
  partner with Kaprun and marketed with the smaller
  village as the "Europe Sport Region." Kaprun, 10
  minutes away by bus, was the scene of the tragic
  subway fire in November 2000. It has vast
  snowfields on the glacier under the Kitzsteinhorn
  mountain. Statistics for the overall region
  include 80 miles of marked trails, 56 lifts, a
  highest vertical of more than 2270 meters and a
  longest run of six kilometers.

Zell am See

• Most of the Zell-Am-See skiing is on the
  Schmittenhöe (Sugar loaf), a rounded dumpling of
  a mountain, with mostly amiable skiing in a
  horseshoe around Zell am See. There are some
  steeper slopes down the face of the bowl but the
  reds are fairly gentle, long and scenic. They
  frequently snake through pine forest and over
  open, undulating pasture. The lifts have been
  improved recently. A modern gondola now departs
  from the middle of the village but the lovely old
  cable car is still there, making its stately
  progress up the Sonnalm. The Areitbahn gondola
  from Schuttdorf opened a few years ago and is
  often a good alternative when Zell is busy.
