The idyllic mountain town of Zell has the perfect location right on the lake, with the snowcapped peaks of the 'Hohe Tauern' mountains rising up to the south. The lake offers all kinds of water activities including lake cruises, rowing, water skiing and swimming. There is some superb walking in the area and you can join our walking escort (operated by our sister company) on 2 FREE guide walks per week. Zell town has a beautiful historic centre with a bustling, pedestrianised area with pavement cafés and a great selection of shops to browse on a sunny afternoon. Zell's central location makes it easy to visit other areas of Austria, including a day trip to Salzburg which is just an hour and a half away.
