Overview

Formerly known as Alpine Resort, VAYA Zell am See boasts one of the best ski locations in the resort, making it an excellent choice for families, beginners and dedicated skiers alike. Positioned directly opposite the Schmittenhöhe and Sonnenalm cable cars, it offers quick and convenient access to the mountain, so you can spend less time travelling and more time enjoying the slopes.

The hotel's prime location is particularly appealing for families, as it sits right next to the ski school meeting point and the children's ski school area. This makes morning drop-offs simple and stress-free, while allowing parents to reach the lifts with ease. For experienced skiers eager to make the most of the day, the direct slope access from the hotel's boot room means you can step outside and head straight onto the mountain.

Whether you're travelling with children learning to ski for the first time or you're looking to maximise your time on the pistes, VAYA Zell am See combines convenience, comfort and outstanding access to the resort's skiing facilities. Its unbeatable position at the foot of the mountain makes it a popular choice for anyone wanting a hassle-free ski holiday with everything close at hand.

About Zell am See

Zell am See skiing

Set by Lake Zell, Zell am See and its bus-linked neighbour Kaprun make up the 'Europa Sport' region, with a total of 130km of runs, 80 of which are at Zell. The setting is one of Zell's biggest selling points, with lovely views of the lake from the medieval town and the slopes above. The ski area caters well for beginners intermediates keen on improving technique in the mostly tree-lined pistes. Advanced skiers have the Kitzsteinhorn glacier located down the road at nearby Kaprun.

Zell am See ski resort

The lakeside town has loads of activities for those not on skis or a board, with lively nightlife, decent restaurants and a full range of accommodation. It is good to check where you are staying in relation to the lifts, as there is a short free bus to access the slopes. For skiing, it is also worth exploring some of the other terrain in the area, like Saalbach, Bad Gastein and Schladming. Overall, Zell is a lovely spot for a winter holiday, with or without skiing.

The beautiful setting gives Zell am See a unique atmosphere not found in many Austrian resorts, and really sets it apart. Despite the smaller ski area, Zell am See remains one of Austria's top 5 resorts, and deservedly so.
