Zell am See · Between lake and glacier

Zell am See & Kaprun · Salzburg, Austria

Mountains, lakes and time for yourself

Morning views of the peaks, an afternoon dip in the lake and an evening to unwind. Mountains, water and little adventures, at your own pace.

Some places never make you choose between mountains and water. In Zell am See, you can enjoy both — and still have time for an ice cream by the lake.

Cable cars bring breathtaking panoramas within reach. One day, walk around a high mountain lake; another, enjoy an easy stroll with playful stops for children. Then head back to the water for paddleboarding or a quiet moment on the shore.

One trip brings together a wild gorge, a glacier and reservoirs framed by mountains. Swap a scenic drive for a gentle bike ride on level paths, or a cool afternoon for a heated pool and sauna.

Arrange five days of outings around the weather, your fitness and your mood. For families, couples and anyone who wants to see plenty without making every day a sporting challenge. All around six hours from Prague.

Before you go

Is this your kind of trip?

Region: Zell am See and Kaprun, Salzburg, Austria
Programme length: 5 days of outings; choose the order and options to suit your pace
Getting there: Around 6 hours' drive from Prague
Season: Summer; mountain activities, swimming and evening shows depend on weather and seasonal operation
Transport: Your own car, cable cars and, depending on your chosen option, local buses or a boat

Who it suits

For families with children, couples and friends who want mountains, swimming and time to relax. Choose between easier walks, a longer hike, cycling and a scenic day by car. The more demanding mountain section suits sure-footed walkers who enjoy mountain terrain.

Walking and conditions

Cable cars bring most viewpoints within reach, and part of the programme follows easy walking paths or level cycling routes. The high mountain lake circuit, however, crosses mountain terrain and includes short ladders — it is not a via ferrata, but sturdy shoes and sure footing are essential. Choose children's options according to their experience. The glacier can be cold even in summer; bring a warm layer and check the weather and cable-car operation.

Golf? Only if you want to.

Golf can be an optional addition to your stay. The core programme does not depend on it, so non-golfers can enjoy the trip too. Specific golf recommendations have not yet been added to this plan.
