Zell am See-Kaprun is one of the most versatile ski regions in the Alps. Here the snow-sure Kitzsteinhorn glacier ski area meets the varied Schmittenhöhe with its magnificent lake view. Anyone looking for even more kilometres of slopes can also reach the huge Skicircus with the Ski ALPIN CARD.

Kitzsteinhorn: skiing on the glacier

The Kitzsteinhorn is the only glacier ski area in the SalzburgerLand and guarantees the best snow conditions from autumn into early summer. High-alpine slopes, freeride terrain and the panorama of the three-thousand-metre peaks make it a destination for ambitious skiers and snowboarders.

Schmittenhöhe: family mountain with a lake view

The Schmittenhöhe is the local mountain of Zell am See and delights with wide, sunny slopes and an incomparable view of Lake Zell. From gentle family descents to the steep World Cup run, there is something here for every ability.

Ski ALPIN CARD: access to the Skicircus

With the Ski ALPIN CARD, the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn also opens up, one of the largest connected ski areas in Austria. In total, more than 400 kilometres of slopes are accessible with a single ski pass.

For beginners and families

Both ski areas offer ideal conditions for beginners and families: ski schools, practice lifts and child-friendly slope areas ensure a safe start in skiing. Numerous huts also invite you to a cosy break.

Slopes, lifts and infrastructure

Modern cable cars, perfectly groomed slopes and well-thought-out infrastructure make every ski day comfortable. Snow parks, fun slopes and race courses round off the offer for everyone looking for more than just classic descents.
