Hiking & Climbing

Friends of the mountains are drawn up to lofty heights when hiking, and that is why hiking in Zell am See is a very special pleasure. The days are long in summer and the well-marked 400 km of hiking trails lead you to alpine pastures, through forests, past lakes up to the overwhelming summit. The cable cars in operation in summer take you comfortably and quickly to the local mountains Maiskogel, Schmittenhöhe and Kitzsteinhorn.

In the Zell am See-Kaprun region you will find every kind of exercise in the mountains, from easy and flat family hikes to challenging high mountain hikes. Would you like to take a stroll along the shores of Lake Zell during your hiking vacation or leisurely explore the charming little town of Zell am See? Then take a short hike from your vacation apartment.
If you like to go on a mountain tour or want to go higher, you will find countless hiking routes in the famous "Pinzgauer Grasberge" and the surrounding mountains in every degree of difficulty. But you can also tackle a high mountain tour with via ferrata - do you have the skills and the condition for it?

Even climbers will find their limits here in Zell am See and the region. Walls with up to 45 rope lengths challenge every climber.

But when hiking and climbing, you also have to take a break sometimes. Many traditional alpine huts, mountain inns and snack stations invite you to rest and refresh yourself with regional delicacies.
