    Ski lifts at the ski resort Schmittenhöhe – Zell am See

    Modern cable cars lead from the valley into the ski area, including the Schmittenhöhebahn with Porsche Design gondolas. In the ski area itself, modern chairlifts, some with weather protection covers and heated seats, await winter sports enthusiasts.

    Since the 2019/20 season, the 10-seater gondola lift zellamseeXpress I + II has connected the Glemmtal valley to the Schmittenhöhe. The entry point in Viehhofen is completely new. The zellamseeXpress impresses with free Wi-Fi and a world first: the Jukeboxx gondolas. In these gondolas, you can use your own smartphone to select your favorite songs and listen to them through the gondola’s speaker system.

    Drag lifts and practice lifts are reserved for beginners. For children and beginners, modern and covered conveyor belts from SunKid are available.
