Overview

The Hotel Berner is a family-run, three-generation hotel known for its warm, personal service and welcoming atmosphere, with staff going out of their way to create a memorable stay.

Its location is a major advantage for skiers. Experienced guests can ski directly from the hotel onto a red run, while beginners are just a 3-minute walk from the City Xpress gondola and ski bus stop. The resort centre is also close by, offering easy access to shops, bars and restaurants, while the hotel itself enjoys a quieter, slightly elevated position overlooking the town.

One of the standout features is the heated outdoor pool, kept at around 30°C and offering indoor access, allowing guests to swim even in snowy conditions. The modern wellness area also includes saunas, a steam room and a relaxation room with scenic views, providing plenty of options for post-ski relaxation.

In the evenings, guests can enjoy a 4-course dinner before returning to comfortable rooms for a restful night, ready for another day on the slopes.

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.
