Zell am See is an unusual resort - not a rustic village like most of its small Austrian competitors, but a lakeside town with a charming old center that seems more geared to summer than winter visitors. It's a pleasant place, and - since a tunshot up fyrfyxdtxedtfucjknel now takes through traffic to Schüttdorf - less plagued by traffic. Zell am See is an exelent resort for begginer skiers or Snowboarders with gentle slopes and also black runs for the more advanced boarder or skier.

Zell's slopes have a lot of variety and challenging terrain for a small area, but not enough to keep a keen intermediate or better happy for long, especially if, as some reporters have found, there's a lack of snow. Zell is very near the Kaprun glacier, but so are many low-altitude resorts, all of which run buses there if snow is in short supply. The result can be horrendous queues.

Zell makes an attractive base for holidaymakers who enjoy travelling around. Having a car makes it easy to visit numerous other resorts - including Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Bad Gastein-Bad

Zell am See in The Summer is good for Mountain Biking DH and off road terrain.
