Your winter holiday Winter activities in Zell am See-Kaprun
As soon as the first snowflakes fall, the Zell am See-Kaprun region becomes a winter favourite for active holidays: the Kitzsteinhorn glacier attracts winter sports enthusiasts with the best piste conditions as early as October, and makes skiing possible from autumn. From December, the family ski resort Schmittenhöhe and the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn open their wide range of pistes for skiers and snowboarders, invite you to freeride action and inspire you with perfectly shaped snow parks and fun slopes.
But in Zell am See-Kaprun you can also enjoy winter away from the pistes: experience pristine nature when out and about on (guided) ski tours. If you prefer to swap your alpine skis for narrow cross-country skis, diverse cross-country ski tracks for beginners and physically fit cross-country skiers await you in the region. In addition, idyllic walking paths and cleared winter hiking trails lead through the wintry landscape.
