Experienced cross-country skiers will enjoy it on the glacier cross-country ski track at 2.900 m above sea level.
Salzburg's highest located restaurant is situated on the Kitzsteinhorn as well!
The Schmittenhöhe near Zell am See is one of the most popular ski areas in the SalzburgerLand. It is considered to be the most beautiful view mountain. It is a modern ski area with varied slopes (77 km) - from the flat family run to black slopes.The pistes are almost always in a perfect condition, since they do not get any direct sunlight. The 'Trass' with a length of 4,150 m belongs to the legendary slopes; once a year the traditional Trass-Lauf takes place.
The Schmittenhöhe ski area is also home to the world's largest fun-slope, a 2-km-long cross-country ski trail and a snowpark area for freestyling. Several 'children's countries' provide fun among the youngest.
Cozy ski huts and sun terraces invite you to enjoy your skiing break.

A shuttle bus is driving for free between Kaprun, Zell am See and Viehhofen, which means that all ski resorts can be easily combined.
In the summer you are spoiled for choice – Hiking in the mountains or sunbathing at the lake? Do both! There are many sights to visit as well (f. e. Kaprun Castle) or explore Austria's oldest national park Hohe Tauern. A rich offer for the whole family, from the boat trip to the children's park, will ensure unforgettable holiday experiences.
