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

Gentle slopes and excellent ski schools make Zell am See a favourite for families and beginners, with pretty tree-lined runs and wide pistes overlooking the lake. Intermediates and advanced skiers can head to the Kitzsteinhorn glacier, as well as explore the linked Ski Circus area for even more variety.

The town has a postcard-perfect setting, with frescoed buildings around a cobbled centre and a lakeside promenade facing the Hohe Tauern mountains. You’ll find plenty of cafés, shops and bars, from lively après-ski spots to relaxed pubs. Accommodation ranges from high-end hotels to welcoming family-run stays, all offering a friendly, personal feel.

Off the slopes, there’s plenty to keep you entertained. Try the alpine coaster in nearby Kaprun, watch an ice hockey match, or enjoy a more relaxed afternoon tea overlooking the lake.
