Zell am See reviews

What a charming, cosy town! Loads of restaurants and shops, with a beautiful church and après-ski options for those who are interested; we really enjoyed strolling through the village in the evenings and seeing everything covered in snow! We skied on the pistes around Zell as well as some of the glacier pistes - weren't huge fans of the lift up to the top, but other than that, a great ski area and we'll definitely be back!

• The village with its restaurants, shops and après-ski bars
• Lots of choices of pistes

Most of the slopes back down to the village are red or black, as a beginner that's not ideal so I had to take the cable down. Even the one blue slope going down end with a very steep redish type wall... Overall it's a great resort, the glacier is absolutely to do! And the slopes are great if you are not a beginner!

• Good austrian atmosphere

• Difficule slopes to go back down to the village

Zell am see is a beautiful spot with gentle skiing - perfect for older skiers like us and very good for families with young children! There is just enough for the kids to learn in safe conditions! Apres-ski was quieter than we expected but this suits us just fine. We stayed at Hotel Latini - super hotel!!! With a fantastic, extensive wellness section!! We would definitely stay there again.

• Beautiful skiing, good lifts, good hotel

• very quiet apres-ski, busy during the holidays

As we have a flat near Zell and so are regular visitors. Zell am See is a great place to visit all year round. Sometimes the snow can be a bit snow iffy in Zell but you can jump on the bus to Kaprun where the skiing on the glacier is great whatever the conditions! In fact there are plenty of great ski areas within easy reach if you dont mind a bit of driving - in stunning scenery!

• Super in the summer too!

• Snow can be a bit lacking

We come back here every season and sometimes in teh summer too. Zell am See is great all year round. You can even ski on the glacier although we never have. IF the snow isn't good during the ski season, you can get the bus to Kaprun where snow always seems to be good.
