A long list of activities away from the slopes. Cultural highlights that combine tradition and innovation. And so much more!

The sunny ski resort of the Alps

If you go skiing on the Schmittenhöhe, you’re spending a day at the sunny one of the Salzburger Land region’s ski resorts. Because 80 percent of the slopes are in perfectly sunny locations. Winter sports fans can enjoy their time to the fullest on 77 kilometres of slopes – all of them as varied as you wish and perfect for beginners, returners and passionate skiers.

What else makes the Schmitten so popular? The stunning panoramic views of Lake Zell, the Kitzsteinhorn glacier and more than 30 three-thousand-metre mountains.

Tip for even more fun on your ski day: Thanks to the extensive ski service offers, you don’t have to worry about anything while on ski holiday – whether you would like to book a ski course, try the latest ski models or store your own equipment safely in one of the ski depots.

Off the slopes

You’re visiting the Schmittenhöhe without skis or a snowboard? That’s great! Because Zell’s landmark mountain offers a whole host of activities off the slopes and for non-skiers. From winter and snowshoe hiking to a relaxing afternoon on one of the sun decks of the many mountain restaurants and rustic huts.

For those who are into culture and the arts, the region offers a lot of options as well. For instance, how about a visit to the “Areit 1400” exhibition? At the mountain station of the Schmittenhöhe, you’ll find another highlight: the “Tradition & Innovation since 1927” exhibition.
