Winter holiday away from the ski pistes

Would you like to take a day off from skiing or do you generally prefer to spend your time away from the slopes? The region of Zell am See also has a lot to offer away from the pistes to suit your taste.

Tobogganing

While children eagerly zoom down the slopes during the day, you might prefer to enjoy the region by night with an adventurous moonlit tobogganing session. Whether alone or with friends – it’s up to you. Many toboggan runs are well-lit so that it is easy to find a safe way downwards even after dark. The 'moonlight toboggan bus' in Zell am See will take you back up the hill even after dinner.

Ice skating & curling

Lake Zell has a surface area of more than 4.5 square kilometres - the perfect place for ice skating. Let the sight of this picturesque idyll tempt you onto the ice. Whether you prefer ice skating, ice hockey or curling: the sparkling frozen Lake Zell between Kitzsteinhorn and Schmittenhöhe invites you to indulge in all kinds of sporting activities.

Once you have set foot into the darkness, it will you fascinated: bizarre rocky landscapes hidden more than 1,600 metres below the ground and breathtaking creations made from frozen waterfalls won't fail to impress you. On your guided tour through Europe's longest cave passage, you will be accompanied by experienced guides who will take care of your safety.
