Schmittenhohe - Beautiful Mountain by the Lake

by victorwkf - last update: Aug 24, 2007

Part of my honeymoon in June 2007

View from Schmittenhohe in summer, Austria
Schmittenhohe (about 2000 metres above sea level) is a relaxing and beautiful mountain located just next to the famous town of Zell Am See in Austria (see my VT Zell am See page). This mountain is popular during winter for activities such as skiing, in fact Zell Am See is one of the most popular ski town in Austria. During summer, Schmittenhohe is very good for hiking as there are many good trails here, with breathtaking scenery of the surroundings as well as many colour wild flowers.

My wife and I enjoyed hiking at Schmittenhohe during our honeymoon there in June 2007, hope the information and photographs will be useful to you.
Schmittenhohe in summer, Austria
Here is a picture of Schmittenhohe taken during summer of 2007, clearly showing the beautiful greenery of the mountain, as well as the various skiing paths among the trees. This mountain is a popular skiing destination during winter.
Hiking in the mountain during summer is really a very good and relaxing experience for me and my wife. During the journey, we took time to sit down and relax, admire the beautiful mountain scenery as well as immerse ourselves among the wildflowers as shown in this photo. Overall, we enjoyed our trip to Schmittenhohe as well as our stay at the town of Zell am See just below this mountain (see my VT Zell am See page).
