Zell am See, a centre for many activities.

by dabidc - last update: Aug 8, 2004

Swan symbol of Zell am See.

Not Swan lake.
Zell am See is a resort of 8,000 people on the west side of the Zeller See. It is connected by rail to Salzburg and Innsbruck as well as a good road along the south side of the Kitzbuheler Alpen.

The lake is a great attraction for families with a bathing station at Seespitze 25 minutes around the lake.The Schmittenhohe rises to the west of the town and there is a cable car to the top and since the lower station is at the top of Zell am See there is a bus service and a road connection.
The mountain top is a good place to hike.
A ferry service is available to cross the lake to Thumersbach and do some more hiking.

The town is also a centre to take a bus to the Grossglockner Alpine pass.

Cons:"Rail line separates town from lakeside."
In A Nutshell:"Worth a visit with your family."
