Zell am See - Kaprun Reviews & Ratings

I visited this resort for the first time in 2024. I was very impressed with the lift system which was very efficient. There was even a gondola with heated seats! Plenty of options for food and drink on the mountains and with lift served connections to Saalbach/Hinterglemm & Leogang there's lots of skiing to be had.Suffice to say I'm going back again next week (2025).

Our favourite family resort. Easy to walk around, with and excellent lift at Maiskogel giving access to Kaprun and Zell. Snow sure, with bus options if the weather requires you to travel to the other Kaprun lift. Lovely mountain restaurants with lots of run choices form the top of the glacier back to the lift. Nice easy runs down to Kristalbahn lift or more challenged reds down to the 3K K-connection lift, which is a lovely way back down, with stunning views. Ski school options for kids were great. Returned five times

Had a great time at Zell, lifts start early, good amount of runs. Good food options on the mountain and village.

Love Zell - great for beginners to intermediate. Great ski schools. Great for families.Been multiple times always enjoyed.Good places to stay and eat out.Guaranteed fun.

This is a small resort that holds everything you need. Kaprun is a perfect destination if you want a budget friendly village with excellent variety of slopes for all levels. You also have access to the glacier

I went there last year and i wasnt the greatest skier but the beginner slopes helped me slowly get the grove back into it and by the end of the week the very good and varied slopes helped me become a good skier again and go down the black slopes which are very well kept.

Great resort. Brilliant snow conditions. Exceptional lift uplift. Great all round experience. Restaurants are decent as well with plenty of food options for all. We all had a fantastic time.

Excellent slopes on the glacier for all levels. A lot of variety and interest. Guaranteed great snow with a magnificent view on sunny days. Lifts work great. Decent food about from a food stand or restaurant at the viewing station however could do with a few more options as the area does get quite busy. Easy access to resort via bus and parking.

One of the first resorts i went with my family. It was a beautiful experience, well rounded resort with something to do for everyone. The weather was treacherous a few days and we had quite an adventure going down the slopes with children- but we all had a lot of fun! The lift lines were regular waiting time, and they were equipped with top notch equipment and protection from the winds. Would recommend this resort for its beautiful town and great slopes!

Zell is a beautiful lake-side Austrian town. Really pretty and with a great choice of apres bars, restaurants and night life.
Theres lots of options for skiing, to keep it interesting, with easy bus rides to Kaprun and Saalbach.
If the snow isnt great in Zell, nearby Kaprun is snow sure and well worth a visit. You can ski back, almost, to Zell - conditions allowing.
Very friendly, picturesque town that makes it feel like a special holiday.

Awesome resort.

Great snow and lifts.

Highly recommended. Been twice and would happily go again

It was a great resort covering all skiers abilities. Drink and food was also reasonable. And the skiing up on the glacier was extreme good too.

A fab ski resort based around a beautiful little town. Great locker system available to rent at bottom of main ski lift as a number of accommodations are a short walk away. The village has a fantastic vibe with some great apres bars.

The slopes are varied and challenging but perfect for every type of skier. The ski lift is busy but fast and distributes quickly across the mountain. Would potentially be better for a long weekend as a whole week got a little repetitive.

Been to Zell and Kaprun many times - it's a place that just keeps giving. Snow sure on the 3000m glacier at Kaprun, some good runs at the top all be it a bit flat in places, there are a couple of challenging blacks to keep you entertained! It's easy to get between the two areas on the buses, and Zell offers more variety and the possibility to ski down and get to Saalbach too. Have always found both towns big enough to have lots of eating and entertainment options, selection of equipment shops, and it's easy to get to from Salzburg by car or train.

Zell am See has a lot to offer both the family and the hard core skier and snow boarder. The mountain and equipment is partly owned by the Porsche family, who come from Zell, so you can be sure of good piste grooming and high quality lifts. The resort offers a range of skiing from beginner slopes and pistes of increasing difficulty all the way up to the Trass piste home of one of the oldest ski races in the Alps. With a gradient of up to 70% and 1000m descent it will test any skier.
Zell is coupled with Kaprun and Saalabach Hinterglem so there is a huge variety of skiing available. Kaprun has the second highest glacier in Austria so good conditions are always available from October until May.
When the skiing is over there is a huge range of restaurants to suit every price and taste.
Zell is located on an unusually beautiful lake so for the walker and langlaufer there is plenty of opportunity in unusually beautiful surroundings. Finally if you just want to relax the Tauern Spa has top quality facilities, saunas, pools and beauty treatments. You won't be dissaponted.

I spent 2 days skiing the Kaprun area. It was quite crowded and lift queues were mostly quite long. The food self service restaurant has plenty of seating and a good range of food. Generally reasonable value for money.

Great ski resort with plenty for everyone, loads of facilities for couples and families. Busy ski resort with loads of people but plenty of space on the slopes and lots of options for different lifts, even if there is a queue they move quite fast.

Zell is an amazing place that draws me back every year! Access to nearby resorts is included in lift pass. Austrians are friendly and fun and make you very welcome

One of the most comprehensive resorts with a glacier in Kaprun that has a lot more riding days in a season. And a lovely tree covered slopes at zell am see and awesome night slopes with great view of the lake.

Spare ski is meh, but if you have the right crowd you could still have a great time.

Food around town is pretty standard for an Austrian alpine village. Decent, but wont be posting selfies with it.

Ski schools and instructors levels are pretty high. Guaranteed to get some top level instructing by most local ski schools.

Bus to go to either side of the mountain where you can spend a whole day on either.
Went around new year so the apres ski and evenings were amazing, lots of bars along the streets and some on the mountain as well.
Lovely slopes with varieties of challenges.
Good ski park as well.
