Overview
This pension occupies a quiet and peaceful location on the outskirts of Zell am See, overlooking the resort centre. There is free ski bus service into the resort centre, 2km away between 7.30am and 5pm. It is just a few minutes walk to the gondola station and ski school.
A shingle-clad roof, big wooden balconies and whitewashed walls give the place an authentic look on the outside. Step inside, and things are light and bright, with mountain-inspired prints and tartan patterned furniture dotted throughout. And in the spa are big windows, so you can stretch out in the sauna or swim a few lengths in the pool while you watch the flakes fall outside.
When it’s time to eat, the Daxer’s restaurant definitely steps up to the plate. Tuck into a huge breakfast buffet packed with eggs, bacon, fruit, cereal and lots of fresh bread. And when you're finished on the slopes, drop off your gear and grab a few tasty treats from the afternoon tea. Then to round off the day, there’s a 5-course dinner where you’ve got a choice of four different mains, with a different fish, meat and veggie option each night.

About Zell am See
Zell am See skiing
Set by Lake Zell, Zell am See and its bus-linked neighbour Kaprun make up the 'Europa Sport' region, with a total of 130km of runs, 80 of which are at Zell. The setting is one of Zell's biggest selling points, with lovely views of the lake from the medieval town and the slopes above. The ski area caters well for beginners intermediates keen on improving technique in the mostly tree-lined pistes. Advanced skiers have the Kitzsteinhorn glacier located down the road at nearby Kaprun.
Zell am See ski resort
The lakeside town has loads of activities for those not on skis or a board, with lively nightlife, decent restaurants and a full range of accommodation. It is good to check where you are staying in relation to the lifts, as there is a short free bus to access the slopes. For skiing, it is also worth exploring some of the other terrain in the area, like Saalbach, Bad Gastein and Schladming. Overall, Zell is a lovely spot for a winter holiday, with or without skiing.
The beautiful setting gives Zell am See a unique atmosphere not found in many Austrian resorts, and really sets it apart. Despite the smaller ski area, Zell am See remains one of Austria's top 5 resorts, and deservedly so.
