Ten Things to do in Zell am See This Summer
Ten Things to do in Zell am See This Summer
If you are travelling to Zell am See this summer, you are in definite luck. First because the destination itself is quite a sight to see as it is nesting by the banks of the Zeller See Lake and lies at the foot of the Shmittenhöhe Mountain. And second, because you will not find a holiday town resort that will offer as many activities to keep you and your family busy this summer as well as next winter.
The list of ten things to do that I have compiled here may not be the best, but that would only be because there is such a wide selection of activities to choose from, that to make one that would tickle everybody’s fancy would be near impossible. I am nonetheless confident that the objects found in this list will enthuse quite a few. As you will also notice, the selection has been made in order to offer variety. So, here is your list of ten things to do in Zell am See this summer.
1. Go in search of the rare bearded vulture with some great hiking excursions on the Shmittenhöhe Mountain and Kitzsteinhorn glacier. A guide will take you on tour through the hiking routes, in groups of four, to a maximum of 25, and will help you discover these fantastic peaks with their knowledge of the area and history that is second to none. And if you have children, you can also experience the mountains in the company of llamas, the legendary Andean mammal, that will carry the burden for you and render your trekking session that bit more exotic. Certainly, something for the children to talk about on their return home from holidays.
2. This summer and every summer, you have the possibility to ski and board in the vicinity of Zell am See. That’s right, even during the hot months of July and August. And that is because of the Kitzsteinhorn glacier which is located in the proximity of Zell am See, by the small village of Kaprun, and where the snows are eternal, and covering it 365 days a year.
3. You can ride the impressive woods or mountain paths on the back of our long time four legged companions, and the children will be able to ride their miniature versions. So this is a call to all horse and pony back riding lovers. You’ll simply love it! The natural settings are just phenomenal.
4. This one is for all the adrenalin and adventures seekers. And what better way to pump some adrenalin in your life than with a parachute jump from 3 500 metres of altitude. You will free fall with the assistance of a pro parachutist and, well, will experience something that is not given to everyone.
5. Another activity for the adrenalin seekers and the non claustrophobic which will spice your summer holiday is caving, the art of wriggling yourself through tiny holes and over rocky terrains and through… You get the idea! Guides will take you through Europe’s longest cave passage for an enlightening adrenalin packed excursion
6. You can head to the foot of the Kitzsteinhorn glacier and indulge in a golfing session in one of the most picturesque settings in Europe, and possibly the world, for a golf course, or two in this case.
7. Not indulging in some climbing as you are spending your holiday in the Zell am See would be a crime. So here is another activity that you could and should take up, provided like me you do not suffer from height phobia. And to help you with that are at your disposal about 70 routes offering different levels of difficulty.
8. Finding some refreshing alternatives is a must in the summer heat of the Austrian Alps. And such alternatives can be found in the form of water skiing on the Zeller See Lake, as well as wakeboarding and knee-boarding for those displaying a bit more imagination and creativity gliding on the waves.
9. Another water activity on offer in Zell am See would naturally be fishing. Experience the peacefulness of this huge peanut shaped lake, where you are sure to find that oh so quiet retreat where you’ll be able to escape for a fishing session far off the summer madness that can be found in the town centre.
10. The children, on top of the afore-mentioned activities, will be particularly pleased with some of the water activities such as the rubber banana and fun tyre rides. A plethora of other activities for children are also available on site.
There you are! A list of ten activities that will keep you and your family occupied this summer, should you decide to venture to Zell am See, this remarkable holiday resort town in the heart of the Austrian Alps. And MountVacation is the place to book this year’s mountain summer holidays.

Zell am See – Austria
My first post here is about the idyllic Zel lam See ski and summer resort, in Austria.
The ski season being over now, it is time to think about the summer season. And Zell am See immediately pops to mind. Located in the Austrian Alps, Zell am See has everything to offer,. A wonderful lake by which banks lies the town of Zell am See, a health resort since 1961. It has its own natural reservoir providing the purest of waters. It also lies at the foot of the Schmittenhöhe, which is a 2000ft high hill, which makes for the perfect decor for trekking, mountain biking and other summery leisure. In winter, it offers all the activities a winter resort thrives on, skiing, snowboarding, spa relaxation.
In terms of accommodations, we can say that Zell am Seehotels offer a variety of prices that range from the cheap hotel rooms (but you can trust Austrians to make even the cheapest of accommodation as cosy as a wintry night in front the chimney), to the luxurious suites that will host you like a king.
If you’d like to check for a list of Zell am See hotels, I would recommend you to visit Mountvacation.com. They do display a comprehensive list of some of the best and more affordable Zell am See hotels, and their multilingual customer service will do their outmost to find the perfect solution for your travel. I, for myself, am planning a little trip there, to recharge my batteries, since I just live across the boarder from Austria.
