AmongThe ski resort on the Schmittenhöhe, high above Lake Zell, offers a varied skiing experience with a total of five valley runs. With the opening of the first section of the zellamseeXpress gondola for the 2019/20 season, the connection from the Glemmtal to the Schmittenhöhe was established. Among the many highlights in the Zell am See winter sports area, Schmidolin's Dragon Park and the Kidsslope at the Glocknerbahn stand out. The Funslope XXL and the Trass run with gradients of up to 70% also challenge ambitious winter sports enthusiasts in the Schmittenhöhe ski area. If you still have enough energy for skiing and snowboarding in the evening, you can enjoy a few more turns during night skiing above the rooftops of the small town of Zell am See.

The Schmittenhöhe is a partner of the "Alpin Card," which means the ski pass is also valid at Kitzsteinhorn Kaprun and in the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn. One ski pass for all three ski areas – endless fun in the snow guaranteed!
