A wealth of experiences, from glaciers to mountains to lakes
Zell am See-Kaprun’s unique combination of glaciers, mountains and lakes makes it one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Alps. Nestled between the 3,203-metre-high Kitzsteinhorn on the edge of the Hohe Tauern National Park, the family-friendly Schmittenhöhe mountain with its wonderful panoramic views and the crystal-clear waters of Lake Zell, the region promises fantastic hiking, leisure and sports opportunities, as well as great day-trip destinations against a magnificent natural backdrop.
