Ski touring

Up into the heights

Going your own way away from the slopes, enjoying the silence and the nature. Sounds good? Then a ski tour in Zell am See-Kaprun is just the thing for you. Conquer the surrounding mountains with your muscle power and reward yourself with unique views and descents in powder snow. Zell am See offers numerous tours for both beginners and advanced skiers.

Our tip: Ronachkopf

The mountain in Thumersbach, which is specially dedicated to ski tourers, offers a prepared ascent track and a relaxed descent. At 2.1 kilometers long and around 500 meters in altitude, the tour is also suitable for beginners. And the best thing: once you get to the top, you can reward yourself with Austrian delicacies at the Enzianhütte.
The Zell am See-Kaprun Tourist Board also offers weekly guided tours.

Cross-country skiing

Get your stamina on land!

You can also explore Zell am See-Kaprun away from the slopes on two skis – we’re talking about cross-country skis, of course. There are over 100 km of cross-country trails available across the region. Whether skating or classic, flat trails on the valley floor or challenging trails with a few meters of elevation, you’ll find what you’re looking for. Equipment rental and cross-country skiing courses are also available. And for those who can’t get enough, there are also floodlit trails so you can still do your laps in the dark.

Our tip: Castle trail in Kaprun

Ideal for beginners and to get started. The trail leads around Kaprun Castle, with only a few meters of elevation it rewards you with unique views of the glacier and the historic walls of the medieval castle though.
