Zell am See - Kaprun

Zell am See - Kaprun is one of the most beautiful ski areas in Austria, offering over 140 kilometres of slopes that reach up to 3029 metres altitude. The area connects the popular ski resorts of Zell am See, Kaprun, Bruck, Piesendorf, and Maishofen. With the ZellamseeXpress, you can even expand your ski holiday into Viehhofen, giving you even more slopes to explore.

Skiing in Zell am See - Kaprun

The Zell am See - Kaprun ski area is situated like an amphitheatre around both villages. With its high-altitude slopes, glacier skiing, and efficient snow cannon system, it offers guaranteed snow. You can take the Gletscherjet I and II cable cars up to the impressive Kitzsteinhorn glacier in no time at all. The slopes there are mostly blue runs, ideal for beginner and intermediate skiers. The Kitzsteinhorn ski area opens early in the season, so you can enjoy its famous glacier slopes and snowboarding parks from autumn until spring.

The Maiskogel is an excellent place to ski for families and beginners, thanks to its gentle slopes. It features a free admission beginners’ area, The Maisi Line, where both children and adults can practice their freestyle tricks in a safe environment.

For a diverse ski area that offers both thrills and family fun, the Schmittenhöhe is ideal. Schmidolin the Dragon is ready to help kids master their skiing skills at the Drachenpark, whilst the more experienced adults can challenge themselves on the Trass black run. The views from Schmittenhöhe’s slopes are particularly breathtaking, as they overlook the impressive Lake Zell.

Endless slopes to explore

With the arrival of the ZellamseeXpress, which connects the Zell am See - Kaprun ski area with Viehhofen, a new larger ski area has been created: Ski Alpin. If you book a Sunweb ski holiday package, your ski lift pass will always be included. By choosing one of the destinations we offer in Zell am See – Kaprun, you can explore three ski regions with just the pass included in your package.
