One of the top destinations this winter to go skiing has to be Zell am See. A town resort located in the state of Salzburg, in the western region of Austria, and nested in the Alps.
Indeed the city is right at the foot of the Kitzsteinhorn glacier, and in the proximity Schmittenhhe, and Maiskogel, which are covered in snow all year round, and that is because this glacier stand over 3000 meters above sea level. This scenery represents thus the perfect place to get your skis and boards out and tackle the slopes this winter as well as this summer.
On the Kitzsteinhorn glacier, you'll be able to take advantage of 138 kilometres of pistes, of which 22 are considered to be blue or green, in terms of difficulty, 16 are red and the remaining three are black and designed to satisfy the more savvy skiers and boarders, for who skiing has become like second nature. If you are one of those experts, you'll be able to enjoy an extra 25 kilometres of black pistes on the Schmittenhhe, as well as 5 free ride routes, of which three are new. To take you to the pistes, you'll be taking the highest cable car in the world, suspended at a height of about 114m. You are now in possession of the main ingredients for the perfect skiing holiday. All that is left to do now is to get there and experience this little haven of peace and natural beauty.
The opening winter season really starts in earnest in October and carries on until mid April. But because of Zell am See's position at the foot of a glacier, it becomes hard to talk about skiing season, since the latter is constantly covered in snow thus offering the possibility to engage in the practice of some winter sports even in the very hot summer months. For when you are down in the valley and by the Zeller See lake, the weather is that of the continental type, meaning that during the months of July and August, the temperature can go quite high, above 30 Celsius,
Isn't it amazing to be able to ski whenever you want? And you won't find any other place in Austria that will offer you that same luxury. It is therefore vital that you book your holiday and hotels in advance, to ensure that you will be on the slopes this summer or winter, for I predict some very busy seasons ahead in Zell am See.
