Location

Located just over one hours drive from the historic city of Salzburg and nestled among the stunning Schmitten mountain range is the well renowned traditional Austrian town of Zell-am-See.

Zell am See is one of those rare destinations where at some times of the year you can ski in the morning and then be swimming and sun-bathing by the lake in the afternoon. A true four-season destination, this delightful and lively alpine town is ideally situated to make the most of summer and winter sports activities in the Alps.

Zell am See, Austria’s most important holiday destination together with its smaller neighbour Kaprun, lies at the shores of the beautiful Lake Zell, with the majestic 2,000m Schmittenhöhe Mountain as a backdrop.   

Zell am See is in the very heart of the Hohe Tauern, a mountainous region with 30 peaks, many over 3,000m. The Kitzsteinhorn glacier is located close by where you can ski for 9 months per year. Zell-am-See also boasts two championship golf courses, a tennis club, hiking, mountain biking and a yacht club where you can do numerous water sports on Lake Zell.

Zell am See lies on the thin strip of land between Lake Zell and the Schmittenhöhe Mountain – this factor greatly limiting the land available for building. Consequently, property in the centre of Zell-am-See is an extremely rare commodity and highly sought-after.
