Frozen-over Lake Zell, uncountable first-class hotels and the snow-covered summits are only some of the reasons why Zell am See-Kaprun is so popular among holidaymakers - especially in the winter months. Skiing and snowboarding play a major role in winter, of course. To guarantee thick blankets of snow everywhere and unclouded sporting fun at any time, Zell am See-Kaprun keeps a new snow cannon system ready. Sun, Snow & Party Week? When winter has made its farewells - at least according to the calendar - Zell am See-Kaprun continues to celebrate the snow. From 26 March to 2 April 2011 the region is staging its traditional 'Sun, Snow & Party Week'. The event programme for 2011 is to be announced but we can already give away one highlight: Anna F. will be performing live and open-air in front of the Ferry Porsche Congress Center in Zell am See on Wednesday, 30 March 2011 (could be combined perfectly with the soccer match). The skiing area on Schmittenhöhe, Zell am See? Directly on the threshold of Zell am See, fans of winter sports find the skiing area on Schmittenhöhe offering 77 kilometres of pistes and 26 cable cars and lift facilities. The Freestyle Park ROME PARK adds variety to dashing down the ski runs. The park with a total length of about 600 meters and a difference in height of about 100 meters is accessible via Hahnkopflift which is a tow lift.
With good reason Schmittenhöhe is hotly tipped as the most beautiful panorama mountain in Austria. The impressive summit view of 30 peaks of above 3,000 meters and breathtaking sunsets to be enjoyed from the terrace of Berghotel Schmittenhöhe are without equal.
