The resort's location at over 3,000 metres means that the snow is crisp and firm from October until early summer.

Skiing with urban flair
Situated just five kilomtres from the TAUERN SPA, the Areitbahn cable car gives visitors direct access to the Schmittenhöhe ski resort. The journey into the resort is an experience in itself as the landscape around Zell am See opens up to reveal 30 mountains over 3,000m.
The 77 kilometres of pistes cater for all abilities, from racers to cruisers, and families will also feel right at home. Slopes popular with children include the ski movie piste, where skiers can film themselves, and the funslope with its many small obstacles.
