I had to summarize Zell Am See in one word, I'd say variety. The expansive area has every type of skiing condition you can think of. In altitude, you can ski at 750m or at 3000m. There's steep and challenging north-facing mountain sides, and gentle south facing cruising blues. Big wide and gentle, narrow, steep, challenging, it's all there.

After a gap of 25 years we decided to give Zell Ann See another go purely for the Christmas feel.Th resort itself is very pretty and there is a good choice of bars and places to eatThe biggest problem is the main gondola from town. Because its small there are always big queues in the Morning follows at the top by big queues on the next chairlift.Kaprun is on the same lift pass and width a visit as is Saalbach-Hinterglemm which is massive , varied and has great lifts.I wont be returning.

highly recommended! Good craic, nice food, fun runs, excellent lifts, well staffed. Great connecting to several other resorts. Buses can be busy but worth the journey. Good spa facilities for aching muscles.

Unfortunately not much snow when we went but there was a bus up to the glacier which had much better conditions and a good amount of runs

Zell am See is a great little place, very friendly. Decent bars/restaurants but a little on the quiet side. Good selection of blues & reds. Well kept machine snow when we were thrre. Definitely worth making use of the lift pass to go to the glacier at Kaprun or across to Salbach. Hardly any drag lifts/flat tracks so good for boarders.

Honestly the best value for money place I have skied in my life! Would highly recommend for a nice chill week of skiing, nothing too labour intensive but also long enough runs to not constantly be on the lifts!!!

Great resorts. Big ski area and good choice of restaurants to eat at on the mountains and in town. Fast lift system

A really great resort - lots of runs which meant you didnt have to double on yourself much. End of season meant a few had been closed towards the bottom but that still didnt affect us much.A lot of restaurant choices up the mountain as well as down in the village.Would absolutely return.

Zell Am See is a ski resort I really like, its got lots of nice accommodation, the food options are great and there are lots of varied runs. Top tips from my perspective are that the main ski school is excellent and cheap. Ive done private lessons and theyre good but the group lessons seem to have better instructors. Id also recommend the Hotel Pension Hubertus, near the city express ski lift either for a drink after skiing or stay.
