# Schmittenhöhe - Zell am See

The picturesque town in the heart of Pinzgau attracts visitors with a wide range of leisure activities in every season. The 4.5 square kilometer lake Zell gives the town its name. Depending on the season, it is perfect for swimming, sailing or just a leisurely stroll along the shore. Located directly on the shore of Lake Zell, in the picturesque Grand Hotel, the casino is a worthwhile destination for all fortune hunters. Zell's local mountain is the 2000 m high panoramic and family mountain Schmittenhöhe. The most beautiful hiking trails and slopes can be reached directly from Zell am See by gondola. With its 77 kilometers of slopes and 6 valley runs, Schmittenhöhe is equally popular with demanding skiers and beginners. Slopes of all levels of difficulty and an illuminated night slope near the center await winter sports enthusiasts. In summer, Schmittenhöhe is a real hiking paradise for nature lovers and families. The choice of hikes is varied: from short hikes such as the "Sisi circular trail", which is dedicated to Austria's former empress, to the exciting high-altitude promenade to Sonnkogel, to the long-distance hike "Pinzgauer Spaziergang". Lake Zell is perfect for water sports. In summer, the lake invites you to spend an extraordinary beach holiday with swimming, sailing, kayaking, stand-up paddling or a leisurely trip with the Zeller boat company. The lidos around Lake Zell open their doors in May and sun-seekers can refresh themselves in the crystal-clear waters of the mountain lake.
